Bad Breath Treatment by Our Local Dentists
Identifying the Cause for Long-Term Freshness
Treating Bad Breath (Halitosis)
Bad breath can affect confidence and everyday interactions, and it is often a sign of an underlying oral health concern. While occasional odour may come from foods or dry mouth, persistent bad breath is commonly linked to bacterial buildup or gum disease. At Aurora North Dental, we focus on identifying the cause of halitosis so we can provide effective, long-term solutions rather than temporary fixes.
Common causes of bad breath include:
- Bacteria buildup on teeth, gums, or tongue
- Gum disease or inflammation that may require periodontal care
- Cavities and dental decay that benefit from dental fillings
- Dry mouth caused by dehydration, medications, or mouth breathing
- Infrequent
