Overview
Persistent bad breath usually traces to tongue coating, hidden decay, gum disease, dry mouth or unclean dentures — different from temporary food or morning odour. Because causes vary, SmileX starts with history plus gum assessment, then treats the actual source rather than masking it.

Common questions
Is bad breath curable?
Yes in most cases — once the underlying oral or dry-mouth cause is treated, it resolves.
Which foods make it worse?
Garlic, onion, alcohol, coffee and sticky sugary foods linger longest; hydration helps.
How do I prevent it returning?
Brush twice, floss, clean the tongue, stay hydrated and keep six-month checkups.
What affects the cost?
Depends on the cause — routine cleaning versus deep gum therapy or denture work. Diagnosis first, estimate before treatment.
