Fresh Breath Starts Here
Persistent bad breath is usually caused by bacteria and plaque on the teeth, tongue and gums, and is often linked to gum disease, a dry mouth or trapped food. A professional clean and a tailored hygiene plan resolve most cases. Book an assessment at Woodleigh Waters Dental on (03) 9702 0234.
The main cause of bad breath (halitosis) is bacteria breaking down food particles and plaque, which releases unpleasant odours. Other contributors include gum disease, a coated tongue, dry mouth, strong foods, and smoking.
We help by examining your teeth and gums to find the exact source. We provide a thorough scale and clean to remove hidden plaque and tartar, treat any underlying gum disease, and give you practical advice on brushing, flossing, and tongue cleaning to keep your breath fresh.
