Treatment of Bad Breath

At the Townsville Dental Centre, we employ simple, yet effective treatment for bad breath and halitosis. The primary cause of bad breath is periodontal or gum disease, which can be handled by our professional range of non-surgical or laser treatment easily and eliminate the source of halitosis. We can also provide surgery treatment if necessary.

Commonly used treatment for bad breath or halitosis utilized in our dental centre includes:

Scaling and Root Planing

It is a non-surgical treatment which includes deep and comprehensive cleaning of the root surfaces of the tooth. Build-up of bacteria and plaque are removed from beneath the gum line (area where plaque and calculus formulates at deeper periodontal pockets) so that tooth root becomes smooth and eliminate toxins. This is the simple and quick procedure which is often used to eliminate the source of bad breath and meet all needs of our patient. Scaling and root planing is also referred to as deep cleaning.

Gum Surgery

Surgery is needed in severe cases of periodontitis or gum disease. However, if gum disease becomes severe, then it will probably be addressed far from simply bad breath, as it can cause abscesses, pain, bleeding, and even tooth loss.

The most popular type of periodontal surgery is Flap surgery. During this process, the tissue of gum makes pulling back into a dither, providing easy access to the periodontal pockets. Then the buildup of Tartar is being removed and the periodontal pockets have thoroughly got cleaned. After that, the gums are sutured back into its original position so that it can be fit snugly around the root of the tooth.

In most of the cases, a patient’s needs can be met through non-invasive periodontal treatment. However, after evaluating your oral health, examine your symptoms and eliminating the major source of your bad breath, our team will determine which is the best suited treatment for bad breath.
