Halitosis - Bad breath
 Dr. Alex feels that while bad breath might be a symptom of some
other disorder, it most likely stems from dental decay and periodontitis.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 and will start dissolving the jawbone around the
teeth and give off a foul odor.
Patients with bad breath need a complete dental
evaluation by Dr. Alex. If gum disease and/or dental decay is diagnosed, it can be
treated readily. The patient will no longer have an infection in his or
her mouth, and he or she will no longer have the embarrassment of bad
breath.
