Bad Breath (halitosis) Can Be Treated At West Mobile Dental Care
Dr.
Sneed feels that while bad breath might be a symptom of some
other disorder, it most likely stems from dental decay and periodontitis.
Periodontitis is a disease affecting gums and bone that support the
teeth, and it results from inadequate tooth brushing and flossing. In this
disease, the irritated gums pull away from the teeth and form pockets
between the teeth and the gums. These pockets fill with bacteria and pus
which give off a foul odor.
Please call our office at (251) 666-3600 if you have questions regarding
halitosis.
