There are several ways to combat bad breath, including proper oral hygiene, tongue scraping, and mouthwash. Our Plant City dentist knows how important it is to address this issue, as the root cause of bad breath can sometimes be a dental health problem. By understanding what causes halitosis, we can take steps to prevent and treat it effectively.

At your halitosis treatment appointment, Dr. Hussein will examine your mouth to look for any underlying issues, such as gum disease, cavities, or other oral infections. He will also learn more about your diet and lifestyle habits for a comprehensive analysis. Once the cause of  bad breath has been identified, our dentist will make treatment recommendations. This may include regular dental checkups, diet changes, and oral hygiene tools such as a tongue scraper or mouthwash. A common way to treat halitosis is through a treatment known as scaling and root planing. During this dental deep cleaning, Dr. Hussein scrapes away bacteria that causes bad breath from above and below the gumline. This planing also supports gum health. With our dental expertise, our caring Plant City dental office is well-equipped to help patients eliminate any unpleasant odor coming from their mouths so they can regain their confidence.
