The truth is that roughly one-quarter of Americans suffer from what dental professionals call halitosis. Fortunately, this relatively common condition can be treated with the help of an experienced dentist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At Pearl White Dentistry, Dr. Natalia Benda-Celenski and her team of dental professionals have been helping people throughout South Florida treat chronic bad breath and maintain happy, healthy smiles for more than a decade. We are pleased to offer patients a wide range of services, from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pearlwhitedentistry.com\/checkups-and-cleanings.html\">cleanings and regular checkups<\/a> to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pearlwhitedentistry.com\/teeth-whitening.html\">teeth whitening<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pearlwhitedentistry.com\/porcelain-veneers.html\">porcelain veneers<\/a> and dental implants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pearlwhitedentistry.com\/reviews.html\">patient reviews<\/a> speak for themselves. We have a solid reputation for providing comprehensive and personalized dental services in and around Ft. Lauderdale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Causes of Chronic Bad Breath<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Halitosis can be caused by a number of factors, from diet to disease and many things in between. Poor dental hygiene, smoking, dry mouth, infections and gum disease are regularly the culprit. A number of other serious health conditions may also be to blame, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Acid reflux<\/li><li>Allergies<\/li><li>Diabetes<\/li><li>Kidney Disease<\/li><li>Liver Disease<\/li><li>Respiratory issues<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because the sources of bad breath can vary, consulting a dental professional is key to addressing the issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is it Chronic Bad Breath?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some people wrongly believe that they are suffering from chronic bad breath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The occasional morning breath or bout with bad breath after certain meals does not rise to the level of halitosis. Some 5 percent of Americans are said to suffer from \u201cpseudo-bad breath,\u201d or the mistaken belief that they have halitosis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is important to consult an experienced dentist if you think you are suffering from chronic bad breath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Treating Bad Breath: Contact a Fort Lauderdale Dentist<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although there is no cure for halitosis, there are a number of effective steps that people can take to manage and reduce bad breath. An experienced dentist can help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It all starts with good oral hygiene. Regular brushing, flossing and professional dental cleanings can go a long way in combating plaque and gum disease. Routine checkups can also help you and your dentist catch any issues and start addressing them early.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are a number of other remedies that may be worth exploring. That includes avoiding smoking and tobacco products, drinking eight glasses of water a day to avoid dry mouth and using a tongue \u201cscraper\u201d to help remove bacteria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Make an Appointment With a South Florida Dentist<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are grappling with chronic bad breath and are ready for help, contact Dr. Natalia Benda-Celenski and her team at Pearl White Dentistry.
