Deteriorating Hygiene

breath so bad it could wake the dead.

A periodontist is a dental specialist with advanced training. Specializing in the diagnosis and management of all diseases affecting the tooth-supporting tissues. This is known scientifically as the periodontal tissues, which simply implies the gums and bone around your teeth.

South African periodontists are unique and considered to be the dermatologists and plastic surgeons of the oral tissues!

Halitosis can be embarrassing and in some cases may even cause anxiety. It’s no wonder that store shelves are overflowing with gum, mints, mouthwashes and other products designed to fight bad breath. But many of these products are only temporary measures because they don’t address the cause of the problem.

Certain foods, health conditions and habits are among the causes of halitosis. In many cases, you can improve your dental hygiene with consistent routines in looking after your teeth and gums. If simple self-care techniques don’t solve the problem, see your dentist or physician to be sure a more serious condition isn’t causing your bad breath.

Halitosis can be one of the early signs of gum disease, as this is also caused by a build-up of plaque bacteria along the gum line that may be responsible for bad breath. If it’s not removed then plaque can cause bleeding and swollen gums, the symptoms of gingivitis. Left untreated, this could lead to more serious gum disease.

If you have any concerns around bleeding gums or you are experiencing this specifically then book an appointment with OptiSmile immediately.
