Bad Breath Treatment

If you or someone you know is concerned about bad breath, the first step is a dental checkup. Your dentist will be able to confirm or rule out the source of the bad breath.

When the cause is found, treatment will be determined and explained by your dentist. If the source of the bad breath is your mouth, there is little chance that mouthwashes or mints can treat the problem. They usually mask the problem for a short period of time and can sometimes exacerbate the situation (mouthwashes that contain alcohol cause dry mouth and usually make the bad breath worse).

There are a few different causes of bad breath. Ranging from stomach problems to diet and teeth problems, most of the causes can be found in the mouth. They are:

Tongue (when bacteria grows in between the papilla)
Teeth cavities (especially when food particles get stuck in them)
Gum disease
Extraction sites during healing
Dentures when not cleaned properly
Alcohol and tobacco

These are a few other, nondental reasons that cause bad breath:

Sore throat
Tonsillitis
Some food
Infection of air passages

Following a good oral hygiene routine and receiving regular dental checkups are the best ways to prevent bad breath.

Dr. Bosler and his team provide the best dental experience I’ve ever had. I’m new to the area and when I had a dental emergency, they got me in the same day for a consultation and within the week for treatment despite me being a new patient. Dr. Bosler explained what was going on to me and treated me with kindness and respect when I was visibly upset. When discussing my teeth otherwise, he explained to me my options and the pros and cons of each without pushing me in any specific direction. I’d recommend this dentist to anyone I know!

Had emergency work done here years ago and was very happy. Recently had a consultation for complete mouth restoring as pregnancy and cancer treatment took a heavy toll on my teeth. Unfortunately insurance companies don't really care about our health when deciding what they will cover. So the beautiful work Dr. Bosler does will have to wait until I'm old enough to get MediCare that does cover it!

Now I know why Dr Bosler and his team have been voted best dentist for the last straight ten years. I have never felt so comfortable and cared about in a dental office. Anxiety is my middle name and it vanished when being seated. Right away I could tell that Dr Bosler is trust worthy. I came in for a second opinion and he went over everything very carefully and he let me know that I could do without much of the prescribed treatment from the other dentist. I have a new beautiful smile now for 1/2 the cost, 1/10th the worry - and no anxiety. I am hooked! Thank you thank you thank you!!

Excellent dentist and team. From the moment you walk in the door you know that this office is different. Everyone here made me feel great. They are kind, courteous, and went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and to make sure all of my questions were answered. The office is clean and modern. If you are looking for a fantastic dentist in the Vacaville area, look no further. This is the BEST dentist in Vacaville. You will not be disappointed!
