Bad breath treatment at Mouth Dental
Bad breath or halitosis can result from several factors, from untreated decay to gum disease. Our dentists carry out oral exams to determine whether any dental or oral conditions are causing your bad breath. If you wear braces, crowns, bridges, or dentures, we examine their fit and hygiene, as poorly fitted or cleaned dental and orthodontic appliances can also play a role in halitosis.
We offer one-day replacements for damaged or loose dental appliances like crowns, bridges, or dentures with our on-site 3D printing facilities. You can also consult our resident orthodontist regarding loose or damaged braces.
We will also review your medical history and general health to understand whether any medical conditions are causing bad breath. Mouth clinics also offer oral cancer screenings to ensure your oral health has a clean bill. Our dentists will also diagnose dry mouth syndrome, another cause of halitosis, and prescribe medication and other products to manage the condition.
If your oral hygiene needs attention, our hygienist service provides a deep clean that removes plaque, tartar, and stains. We offer Airflow cleaning that is gentle on the mouth and capable of safely cleaning dental appliances as well. If you require further tests, our hi-tech diagnostics can better understand the underlying causes of halitosis.

Frequently asked questions
What causes bad breath?
Bad breath can result from poor oral hygiene, tooth decay, different stages of gum disease, poorly fitted dental implants, crowns, bridges, dentures, & braces, dry mouth, build-up of plaque & tartar, strong smelling food & drink, smoking, bacteria on the tongue, oral infections, medication, tonsils or throat infection, sinus blockages & infection, and other medical conditions related to the kidney, liver, acid reflux or diabetes.
Is bad breath treatable?
Yes, bad breath is treatable. Identifying its causes is important to successful treatment.
What are the treatment options available for bad breath?
Hygiene appointments for scale and polish or Airflow cleaning will deep clean your teeth and gums. Treating signs of gum disease, filling untreated dental caries, tongue scraping, antibacterial mouthwash and toothpaste, medicated sprays, mints, gums, or rinses, management of nasal and sinus conditions, proton pump inhibitors for gastro-oesophageal reflux disease, treating dry mouth, refitting & cleaning dental appliances, and addressing other factors recommended by a dentist will help get rid of bad breath.
How often do you need to visit your dental hygienist?
It may vary for different people based on their oral health. However, visiting a dental hygienist every 6 months can ensure your teeth and gums stay relatively healthy.
How do you prevent bad breath?
Practice good oral hygiene by brushing your teeth at least twice daily for two minutes. Don’t forget to brush your tongue as well, as bacteria can accumulate there. Floss daily to remove food particles and plaque from between your teeth. Keep your mouth moist by staying hydrated and stimulating saliva flow. Clean dental appliances thoroughly. Limit coffee and alcohol, quit smoking, schedule regular dental check-ups & hygienist visits, and treat dry mouth. Avoid mouthwashes containing alcohol as they tend to dry out the mouth.
Do bad breath treatments cause discomfort?
No, a majority of the treatments are non-invasive and pain-free. If you require fillings, you can request anaesthesia or sedation for the treatment.
Are there medications available for bad breath?
Yes, there are prescriptive oral care solutions for bad breath. Make sure these get prescribed by a dentist as part of your treatment plan. However, medication alone will not resolve halitosis if there are unresolved dental or oral conditions. Get treatment for dental caries, gum disease, and oral hygiene issues.
Is bad breath caused by any underlying medical conditions?
Yes. It can result from medical conditions such as dry mouth syndrome, gingivitis, nasal or sinus diseases, gastro-oesophageal reflux disease, lung infection, diabetic ketoacidosis, tonsillitis, liver disease, kidney disease, or even oral cancer.
Are there any lifestyle changes that can be made to prevent bad breath?
Cut down on caffeine, quit smoking, use sugar-free mints or chewing gum after having strong-smelling food and drink, limit alcohol consumption, do not rinse your mouth with water straight after brushing your teeth, cut back on sugary food & drink, and avoid over-zealous brushing that can damage gums. Make it a habit to brush your tongue when cleaning your teeth and use fluoride toothpaste.
