  • What are the causes of bad breath?

    Lingering food particles, dry mouth, or bacterial buildup on the teeth and tongue often cause bad breath. It can also stem from gum disease or certain medical conditions. Our team understands how uncomfortable this concern can be, and we’re here to help identify the cause and restore fresh, confident breath with personalized, gentle care.

  • What chewing gum works best for bad breath?

    The best chewing gum for bad breath is sugar-free and made with xylitol, which helps reduce bacteria while keeping your mouth fresh and clean. Look for gums with natural mint flavors for long-lasting freshness. While gum can provide temporary relief, persistent bad breath may signal an underlying issue—our team is here to help.

  • Can smoking cause bad breath?

    Smoking can absolutely contribute to chronic bad breath. Tobacco dries out oral tissues, reduces saliva flow, and leaves strong, lingering odors that brushing alone can’t remove. It also increases the risk of gum disease, another source of persistent halitosis..
