Bad Breath

Bad breath, medically known as halitosis, is a common but often embarrassing condition that can affect your personal, social, and professional life. At Dr. Bhujbal Dental Care and Implant Center, Chakan, Pune, we offer expert diagnosis and personalized treatments to help you eliminate bad breath at its root cause and restore your confidence.

What is Bad Breath?

Bad breath is an unpleasant odor coming from the mouth. While temporary bad breath can result from certain foods or poor hygiene, chronic halitosis may signal underlying dental or health issues that require professional care.

Common Causes of Bad Breath:

• 🦷 Poor Oral Hygiene: Plaque and food particles left on the teeth, gums, and tongue can lead to odor-causing bacteria.

• 🦷 Gum Disease: Bacteria in infected gums release foul-smelling compounds.

• 👅 Coated Tongue: A buildup of bacteria and dead cells on the tongue’s surface.

• 🦷 Tooth Decay or Infected Teeth: Cavities and abscesses can harbor bad-smelling bacteria.

• 🦷 Dry Mouth (Xerostomia): Lack of saliva reduces the natural cleansing of the mouth.

• 🥘 Certain Foods and Drinks: Garlic, onions, coffee, and alcohol can cause temporary bad breath.

• 🚬 Smoking or Tobacco Use: Contributes to both dry mouth and gum disease.

• 🩺 Medical Conditions: Diabetes, sinus infections, acid reflux, and liver or kidney disorders can also cause bad breath.
