Check Your Breath
- Review of medical history. Our dentist will review your medical history, your diet, your personal habits and relevant details for conditions that may cause bad breath and for medicines or any treatments you are undergoing that can cause dry mouth.
- The dentist will test your breath using Halimeter, which can detect several volatile gases created by bacteria flora in your mouth or gastrointestinal tract.
- The dentist will thoroughly examine your teeth and gums for any possible causes of bad breath, including dental caries, gum disease or tooth abscess.
- After a complete evaluation and the real cause of your bad breath is found, you will receive necessary dental treatments, including fillings, deep cleaning etc etc. Patients with systemic diseases or other health conditions that may cause dry mouth and bad breath will be recommended to see physicians.
