Dr. Arnold Can Help You Beat Bad Breath for Good
Many people would agree that one of the worst feelings in the world is when someone you’re talking to quietly informs you that you have bad breath. This condition (also referred to as halitosis) can be incredibly humiliating, not to mention a confidence killer. But did you know that over 90 million people suffer from it? Chronic bad breath is a serious problem, not just because of the embarrassment associated with it but also due to the fact that its presence often indicates a much deeper issue; that’s why we suggest that you don’t ignore it or try to cover up the odor with breath mints. Instead, come in and visit our excellent team at Smiles of Valparaiso & Associates! With offices in Valparaiso, we can provide you with the top-notch dental care you need and deserve.
What Causes Bad Breath In the First Place?
First and foremost, bad breath is a common symptom of gum disease; most patients who suffer from the former don’t even realize they’re also dealing with the latter. Bad breath can also be caused by:
- Internal Infection
- Diabetes
- Kidney Failure
- Liver Malfunction
- Radiation Treatment
How Can You Help Me Get Rid of Bad Breath?
Don’t worry – bad breath is treatable, and Dr. Arnold and his team will help you find the perfect solution! First, we’ll review proper oral hygiene techniques with you, ensuring that you’re brushing twice a day, flossing, and cleaning your tongue, as well as attending professional cleanings at our office. If this still doesn’t help the problem, a professional breath kit may provide results instead.
At Smiles of Valparaiso & Associates, we’re committed to providing smiles of all shapes and sizes with the compassionate, personalized care they need to be the best they can be. Contact our Valparaiso office today to schedule an appointment with our team, or if you have any questions about bad breath.
