Bad Breath (halitosis)

Halitosis is a common affliction with many causes. Smoking, sinus problems, tonsillitis, sickness, certain medications and some foods can be the cause of fetid breath.

Commonly, halitosis is caused by poor oral hygiene where food particles are allowed to remain on the tongue and between teeth. Good oral hygiene habits of brushing, flossing, tongue scraping and rinsing with an appropriate anti-microbial mouthwashes clear up halitosis. Professional, regular cleanings keep the hidden bacteria from causing this embarrassing problem.

Fresh Smiles has a selection of breath freshening products available for purchase.
