Bad Breath Treatment (Halitosis)
Dealing with persistent bad breath? You might have halitosis, a condition that we can treat effectively at Rooted Dentistry. We focus on eliminating the underlying causes to give you fresh breath and restore your confidence.
Bad Breath/Halitosis Treatment
Halitosis, or chronic bad breath, is common. It’s so common, that about 1 in 4 people in the world have it.
Halitosis is often caused by bacteria buildup in the mouth, leading to chronic bad breath.
At Rooted Dentistry, we provide thorough professional cleanings that reach areas missed by daily brushing and flossing. If needed, we perform deep cleaning with scaling and root planing to remove bacteria below the gum line. For some, tongue scraping can also help reduce odor-causing bacteria.

What is the treatment for bad breath?
At Rooted Dentistry, we offer several effective treatments for halitosis. Professional cleanings help remove plaque and tartar, which are often responsible for harboring odor-causing bacteria. If the problem persists, we may recommend deep cleaning procedures like scaling and root planing to thoroughly clean below the gum line. Additionally, tongue scraping can remove bacteria buildup from the tongue’s surface, another common source of bad breath. These treatments work together to eliminate the causes of bad breath and improve overall oral hygiene.

What can I use to help bad breath?
While over-the-counter products like mouthwash, mints, and chewing gum can provide temporary relief from bad breath, they only mask the odor and do not address the underlying causes. For more lasting results, regular dental checkups and professional teeth cleanings are essential. At Rooted Dentistry, we offer specialized treatments to target the root causes of halitosis, such as deep cleanings and tongue scraping.
