Do you find yourself having bad breath frequently, and not just after you eat certain foods like garlic or onions? Do you feel like you’re always reaching for the mouth wash or mints but your breath still smells? Your bad breath may be a sign of something else going on in your teeth or mouth.

At Framingham Premier Dental, we can analyze your smile and diagnose the cause of your bad breath. Dr. Gaitsgory will perform a dental check-up and look for the cause of the odor issue.

Many causes of bad breath include the following:

• Bacteria growth on the tongue
• Cavities, especially when food particles are stuck in them
• Gum disease
• Dentures that haven’t been cleaned properly
• Alcohol and tobacco use

Once we discover what is causing your bad breath, we can address the dental issue and help to clear up your breath. Treating the underlying cause is the only way to stop bad breath. Mints and mouth wash will just mask the odor, leaving the real issue unaddressed.

If you have frequent or persistent bad breath, it’s important to give us a call to schedule an appointment, as this is frequently a symptom of other issues with your smile. We want all our patients to have beautiful smiles and are here to help.
