Bad Breath Treatment in Southlake, TX
Halitosis, or bad breath, affects about 1 in 4 people worldwide and is often caused by bacteria trapped in the mouth. While over-the-counter products like mouthwash and mints can temporarily mask the issue, addressing the root cause is essential for long-term results.
Our bad breath treatments include professional cleanings and deep oral care to target odor-causing bacteria. Scaling and root planing are sometimes necessary to clean below the gum line, and tongue scraping can also help remove bacteria from the tongue’s surface. Our goal is to leave your mouth feeling fresh and your breath smelling great.
