Bad breath has many causes including sinus drainage, gum disease, tooth decay, poor oral hygiene, ill fitting or poorly maintained dentures, dry mouth (caused by some medications), gastro-intestinal disorders, and smoking. A thorough dental/medical examination and medical history is necessary to help locate the possible cause(s) of halitosis. There are several prescription-only products available though our office or your local pharmacy. Dr. Bonin can help you decide what treatment and medications will be best for your particular need. |
