August 6 is National Fresh Day. If your breath smells bad, you may not feel like celebrating. Bad breath isn’t just embarrassing, it can signal dental problems such as gum disease. Our dentists will identify the root cause and help you beat bad breath.
The solution may be as simple as improving your oral hygiene or switching from one kind of prescription medication to another. If you have gum disease, our team can eliminate it with a special deep cleaning treatment. If dental decay is causing your smelly breath, your dentist will treat it with a filling or crown.
This informative video from the American Dental Association discusses some of the causes of bad breath and offers ideas for preventing it. If their suggestions don’t eliminate your halitosis (bad breath), call Greenwood Dental Carel at 847-595-5805 to schedule an exam and cleaning.
