What is Halitosis?
Halitosis, or bad breath, is a symptom with diverse origins, not a uniform condition. At Wetaskiwin Smiles, we focus on pinpointing the specific causes of your bad breath by evaluating factors such as your oral hygiene practices and their effectiveness in removing plaque and bacteria, dietary habits and the identification of odor-contributing foods, the presence of dry mouth (xerostomia) and reduced saliva production, the state of your gum health and potential periodontal disease, and the possibility of underlying systemic medical conditions.
