Atlanta Bad Breath Treatment

Serving the Morningside Atlanta and Ansley Areas

Let’s tackle bad breath together

Bad breath happens to the best of us, but when it lingers no matter how much you brush, floss, or rinse, it’s time to take a closer look. Halitosis can signal bacteria buildup, gum disease, or even dehydration. But don’t worry! It’s not permanent. At Perl Smile Co., we’ll help you find the cause and breathe easy again.

Under the care of Dr. Perlow, we offer compassionate, customized Atlanta bad breath treatment to freshen your breath and restore your confidence. Book online or call (404) 806-1680 today.

How do you know if you have bad breath?

Bad breath can be sneaky. Sometimes, you might not even notice it yourself until someone points it out (awkward, right?). Here are some common signs to watch for:

  • A persistent unpleasant taste in your mouth
  • A white or yellow coating on your tongue
  • Dry mouth or a sticky feeling in your mouth
  • People offering you gum or mints more often than usual
  • A lingering odor even after brushing, flossing, or using mouthwash

If any of these sound familiar, don’t panic. Bad breath is treatable, and the first step is understanding what’s causing it. Schedule an appointment for a professional evaluation with Dr. Perlow.

Why should you treat it right away?

Bad breath can make you self-conscious in conversations and hesitant to get close to others. Beyond that, halitosis can be a warning sign of something more serious. Chronic halitosis is often linked to oral health issues like gum disease, cavities, or even infections.
 
In some cases, it can also point to underlying health problems like diabetes, acid reflux, or sinus issues. At Perl Smile Co., we believe everyone deserves to feel confident in their smile and their breath. Let us help you tackle this problem head-on with personalized Atlanta bad breath treatment.

Bad Breath FAQs

Is bad breath always caused by poor oral hygiene?

Not always. While poor oral hygiene is a common cause, bad breath can also stem from diet, dry mouth, medical conditions, or even medications. That’s why a professional evaluation is so important.

Can mouthwash fix bad breath?

Mouthwash can mask the odor temporarily, but it won’t solve the underlying problem.

How often should I see a dentist for bad breath?

If bad breath persists despite good oral hygiene, schedule an appointment right away. Regular check-ups every 6 months can help prevent the issue from returning.

Is bad breath contagious?

No, bad breath itself isn’t contagious. However, the bacteria that cause it can be spread through sharing utensils or kissing, so it’s best to address the issue promptly.

Can I treat bad breath at home?

While good oral hygiene at home is essential, professional treatment is often needed to fully eliminate bad breath. We’re here to guide you every step of the way.
