Professional Teeth Cleaning Eliminates Bad Breath
Luckily for us, modern science has discovered that it is the bacteria found in plaque and tartar that is responsible for 90% of bad breath cases, also known as halitosis – professional teeth cleaning is an effective halitosis treatment that can remedy bad breath!
Main Cause of Halitosis
Poor dental hygiene is the most common cause of halitosis. If we don’t practice routine dental care such as daily brushing and flossing and regular professional teeth cleaning below the gum line, we develop a build-up of plaque and tartar around our teeth and gums. Plaque contains bacteria that release a bad smell. Plaque is a colourless, sticky film of bacteria that if not brushed away can irritate your gums and eventually form foul-smelling plaque-filled pockets between your teeth and gums. Tartar is plaque that has hardened over time and is more difficult to remove. This gum condition can put your smile at risk too! Inflamed or bleeding gums and bad breath are the tell-tale signs of gum disease. If left untreated the slow progression of gum disease can develop serious complications later in life, leading to tooth decay, tooth loss and jawbone loss.
