Bad Breath & Halitosis

Diagnosis and lasting care for persistent bad breath.

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.

Why patients choose us

  • ✓ Genuinely fresher breath, not masked odour
  • ✓ Restored confidence in close conversation
  • ✓ Healthier gums as the cause is treated
  • ✓ Spots dry-mouth or denture contributors

  2. 2Professional or deep cleaning where indicated
  3. 3Managing dry mouth, dentures or medical triggers
  4. 4Hygiene coaching and review visit

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.
