Oral Health - Halitosis (Bad Breath)

Bad breath is breath that has an unpleasant odor. It's also known as halitosis. This odor can strike from time to time, or it can be long-lasting, depending on the cause. We have professional halitosis treatment available in our dental center in North Bethesda.

Some types of bad breath are considered to be fairly normal. They usually are not health concerns. One example is "morning mouth." This occurs because of changes in your mouth while you sleep. During the day, saliva washes away decaying food and odors. The body makes less saliva at night. Your mouth becomes dry, and dead cells stick to your tongue and to the inside of your cheeks. When bacteria use these cells for food, they produce a foul odor.

Millions of bacteria live in the mouth, particularly on the back of the tongue. In many people, they are the primary causes of bad breath. The mouth's warm, moist conditions are ideal for the growth of these bacteria. Most bad breath is caused by something in the mouth. There are many factors that can contribute to bad breath or halitosis including:

-oral hygiene

-consumption of certain foods and beverages

-health conditions and the use of certain medications

-habits such as smoking.

Regardless of the cause, the end result can be an embarrassing and unpleasant condition. Consult your dentist for assistance in determining the causes of bad breath and appropriate treatment options.
