Certain foods, health conditions and habits are among the causes of bad breath. In many cases, you can improve bad breath with proper dental hygiene. But, if simple self-care techniques don't solve the problem, you may want to see your dentist to be sure a more serious condition isn't causing your bad breath.
At our practice we use a system called CloSYS as a treatment for bad breath. It consists of a toothpaste, mouthwash, oral spray, and, most importantly, a tongue scraper. Accumulation of bacteria on the tongue, between the small buds (papilla) on your tongue is usually the main cause of odor. Physically removing a majority of these bacteria with a tongue scraper can greatly increase the effectiveness of the rinse.
Please contact our office at (989)686-9600 to set up an appointment to discuss your problem and to purchase the necessary products to make your breath smell fresh.
