Halitosis: what it is and how it manifests itself

Halitosis, commonly known as bad mouth odor, is a disorder that can affect anyone, causing social discomfort and insecurity. This problem can be temporary or chronic and often originates in the oral cavity. People suffering from halitosis may notice an unpleasant odor that persists even after brushing their teeth. It is important to address the root of the problem to prevent it from getting worse and negatively affecting personal and professional relationships.

The most common causes of halitosis

The causes of halitosis can be many. Among the most common, we find poor oral hygiene. When food debris is not properly removed, bacteria accumulate in the mouth and produce sulfur compounds, which are responsible for the bad odor. Dry mouth (xerostomia), consumption of certain foods such as garlic and onions, and alcohol and tobacco abuse can also contribute to halitosis. In some cases, however, bad odor may result from more serious health conditions, such as gastric problems, respiratory tract infections, or gum disease.

Effective remedies to combat halitosis

To prevent and combat halitosis, it is essential to maintain proper oral hygiene. Brushing teeth at least twice a day and flossing to remove food debris is the first step. In addition, it is helpful to clean the tongue, where bacteria responsible for bad odor can accumulate. The use of specific mouthwashes can also help temporarily reduce halitosis. In severe cases, it is advisable to consult a dentist to evaluate targeted treatments or rule out underlying diseases. Maintaining proper hydration and limiting alcohol and tobacco consumption are other important steps to prevent this disorder.

    More than positive experience. Arrived on Sunday, immediately a personal driver on hand to get to the apartment courtesy of the clinic with wi-fi... on Monday morning you start treatment right away with the staff making you feel comfortable and comfortable. Once the work is done you return to the apartment a two minute walk away...you can find every primary service all around the apartment, bakery, convenience store, coffee shop, etc...every morning they give you an appointment to continue the work and take an interest in your condition throughout the day. Staff simply smiling and always helpful but most of all competent. A salute to Linda who solves any problem for you. Thank you all and we will see you again soon to continue the care plan. Highly recommended

    Second time I come back to you, a serene environment people who treat you not just as a customer a number but a person, a friend. They create a connection with you by accompanying you to this place the "dreaded " dentist trying to make your moment happier. Thanks again especially Linda , a competent professional but at the same time very empathetic person.

    I have to be honest, I had a history regarding dental problems, I already had dentures below with pins, but they without any concern and with great mastery did the surgery, I was already complaining but they did two arches below twelve teeth and above fourteen, after a few months I had problems, they invited me to come back, they destroyed the upper prosthesis placed on the canines they devitalized my teeth and rebuilt the prosthesis without asking me anything, I was already complaining that even the molars were giving me pain, they even though they were risking left them for me. After two more three months I called them back, they were hurting me, without thinking twice they called me back and redid all the work above as well as devitalized the remaining molars. I thank them, thank you again more than that they could not do. They tried in every way not to devitalize my teeth, while risking as it happened to redo the work.. again thank you thank you..
