Bad Breath (halitosis) Can Be Treated At Mark S Frey DDS
 

Dr. Frey feels that while bad breath might be a symptom of some other disorder, it most likely stems from dental decay, periodontitis, or bacteria at the back of the tongue.

Periodontitis is a disease affecting gums and bone that support the teeth, and it results from inadequate tooth brushing and flossing.  In this disease, the irritated gums pull away from the teeth and form pockets between the teeth and the gums. These pockets fill with bacteria and pus which give off a foul odor.

In some cases, bacteria at the back of the tongue or in the throat, can also produce the malodor associated with halitosis.  In many cases mouthwashes prove ineffective because they only mask the odor instead of killing the bacteria that create it.  Dr. Frey has extensive experience in diagnosing the source of bad-breath and can develop a treatment tailored to get rid of your bad breath once and for all!

Please call our office at (707) 545-4125 if you have questions regarding halitosis.
