Breath Treatment
Serving Pittsburgh, Cranberry, Wexford - Pennsylvania
Bad breath can be an occasional embarrassment or a serious problem.
Bad breath—also called halitosis—is frequently thought to be a result of poor dental care and hygiene. While this is often the case, in some cases, bad breath can be caused by other factors, including health problems and simple bacterial abnormalities.
Sadly, many people continue to suffer from bad breath because they are embarrassed about their condition. In many cases, breath problems are a result of conditions beyond the sufferer's control—conditions that can be diagnosed and treated.
Many people suffer from chronic bad breath for a variety of reasons, including:
- Dental decay
- Insufficient oral hygiene
- Diet
- Illness
- Abnormal bacterial conditions
The first step to solving your bad breath problem is to have the cause properly diagnosed. Dr. George and her team are skilled and thorough when determining the causes of bad breath, and will be able to diagnose your problem.
If the onset of your problem is sudden and severe, it may indicate illness, such as diabetes or infection. If this seems to be the case, we recommend you visit your doctor.
Treatments for bad breath
Once the cause of your bad breath has been diagnosed, Dr. George will recommend a course of treatment appropriate for you.
If your breath problems are caused by dental decay or other dental problems, we will treat the underlying condition and provide you with tools and techniques for maintaining proper oral hygiene.
If the breath problem is caused by a bacterial imbalance, dehydration, or other similar cause, we can prescribe a specific regimen of treatment designed to address your specific issues. This might include specially formulated products such as a custom oral hygiene regimen including mouth rinses designed to treat your specific breath problem.
We will also review your dietary and hygiene habits with you to help you understand and avoid the causes of bad breath problems in the future.
