Halitosis (bad breath)

Struggling with bad breath (halitosis)? The cause is often hidden plaque or silent gum disease. A professional dental cleaning restores fresh breath and confidence. Book your gum health check-up today!

In most cases halitosis (bad breath) is caused by bacteria present on the tongue or in gum disease (Gingivitis/ Periodontitis). The most common cause is insufficient dental hygiene leading to plaque build-up and this can easily be addressed with a visit to the dental hygienist. Sticking to a fixed dental hygiene routine (daily flossing, brushing and tongue cleaning) and going for routine dental cleanings will maintain a healthy, fresh mouth, boosting your confidence! Gum disease is not painful and therefore often goes unnoticed. Make sure you book today and have your gum health checked out. Call 012 348 0665.
