mydentist Bad Breath

What can I do about my bad breath?

Although it may be coming from your teeth or gums, usually it's from bacteria colonising on the back of the tongue. A comprehensive breath evaluation and bacterial culture can determine the best form of treatment. See a dentist who uses a new diagnostic device called the Halimeter with bag culturing to help diagnose the extent of your problem. There are remedies available to fight this problem, including mouth rinses (chlorine dioxide) and tongue scrapers that help get rid of the bacteria that cause these odours.
