Bad Breath Treatment in Waukesha, WI

Bad breath, medically known as halitosis, is often caused by dental issues such as poor oral hygiene, gum disease, or trapped food particles. Other factors include dry mouth, tobacco use, and medical conditions affecting the nasal passages, sinuses, or stomach. Proper diagnosis and management are essential for effective treatment and preventing recurrence.

Our Halitosis Treatment Approach

We start with a thorough dental examination to determine the root cause of your bad breath. Our treatment plans are comprehensive and personalized, focusing on both immediate relief and long-term solutions.

  • Professional Dental Cleaning: Regular cleanings are crucial for removing plaque buildup and tartar from your teeth, both of which are common sources of bad breath.
  • Periodontal Care: If gum disease is the cause of your halitosis, we will treat the infection with appropriate periodontal therapy, which can significantly improve your breath.
  • Restorative Dental Work: Repairing cavities and replacing faulty dental work can also eliminate places where bacteria gather and produce foul odors.
  • Saliva Enhancers: For dry mouth, we provide treatments and products to enhance saliva production and help wash away bacteria naturally.

How to Fix Bad Breath

  • Maintain Good Oral Hygiene: Brushing twice a day, flossing daily, and using an antimicrobial mouthwash can significantly reduce bad breath.
  • Stay Hydrated: Drinking plenty of water helps keep your mouth moist and bacteria at bay.
  • Regular Dental Visits: Biannual check-ups allow us to monitor your oral health and prevent conditions that lead to bad breath.

  • Is halitosis treatment permanent?

    Treatment effectiveness depends on the cause. While dental interventions can provide a significant improvement, some medical conditions may require ongoing management. We work closely with you to create a sustainable plan.

  • Can lifestyle changes help with bad breath?

    Absolutely. Lifestyle changes such as quitting smoking, improving your diet, and increasing water intake can all help fight bad breath.

  • How quickly will I see results from treatment?

    Many patients notice an improvement immediately after professional dental cleaning and implementing better oral hygiene practices. Treatments for underlying conditions like gum disease may take longer to show results.
