Halitosis - Bad breath
 

While bad breath may sometimes come from a medical condition, research shows that 90% of chronic breath problems come from the mouth. Bad breath is caused by the same bacteria that we know causes tooth decay and periodontal (gum) disease. When these "bugs" are allowed to multiply they produce the chemicals that are responsible for breath odor. In addition to collecting around the teeth and gums they live in the deep "shag carpet" of your tongue. Dr. Rosenstein understands this condition. He and his staff are ready to help you solve this often embarrassing problem.
Patients with bad breath need a complete and comprehensive examination so that all the potential causes can be discovered. In addition to eliminating the dental diseases,, some people require special toothpastes and mouth rinses to control the problem.

As always Dr. Rosenstein is available to answer any questions you may have concerning bad breath.
