Halitosis is not a disease in itself but a symptom with a variety of underlying causes.

It is important to acknowledge that there is a difference between the occasional and temporary bad breath that most people experience and chronic bad breath.

Temporary halitosis may be caused by tobacco smoking and consumption of aromatic food such as garlic and onion or beverages such as alcohol and coffee.

Chronic halitosis, however, is most often due to microbial degradation in the oral cavity but may sometimes be caused by an underlying disease process.

Fresher breath means a healthier mouth. Stop bad breath before it happens, visiting your local Doral dentist and hygienist regularly for a professional check-up and scale and polish should be part of your dental care plan. It will go a long way in keeping your breath fresh.

Schedule your consultation with Dr. Sonia Olivares to learn more about your dental care options. Call 305-620-8272 to make an appointment.
