Halitosis Treatment (SRP)

Fresh Beginnings: Halitosis Dentist in Mt. Holly, NJ

There’s a quiet confidence in knowing your breath is as fresh as your smile is bright. But persistent bad breath can take away that ease. More than a fleeting inconvenience, halitosis is often a sign of something deeper at play with your oral health. If bad breath is casting a shadow over your daily interactions, lasting relief is within reach at Opal Dental.

Unmasking the Mystery: What Are Some Bad Breath Causes?

Chronic bad breath could stem from issues requiring a more refined, professional approach. Fortunately, our team addresses both the surface symptoms and the underlying causes, making your fresh start more than just temporary. Causes can include:

  • Oral Hygiene: Trapped food particles can release unpleasant odors.
  • Plaque Buildup: Excess plaque harbors bacteria responsible for bad breath.
  • Gum Disease: Inflamed gum tissue often contributes to persistent halitosis.
  • Tooth Decay: Untreated cracks or cavities can cause bad breath.
  • Dry Mouth: Saliva helps clean your mouth; not having enough can cause odors
  • Diet: Foods with strong odors, such as garlic and onions, can linger long after eating.

Time-Honored Treatment: Scaling and Root Planing

Known as a gentle yet powerful treatment for gum health, scaling and root planing (SRP) removes the unwelcome buildup that regular brushing and flossing can’t reach.

This first step removes plaque and tartar from above and below the gum line. Specialized tools address these problematic deposits with finesse, so your gums and teeth are free of irritants.

The second step smooths the surfaces of your tooth roots, making it harder for bacteria to stick. Root planing both restores your smile’s health and helps gums reattach to your teeth.

Polished Pearls of Wisdom: Bad Breath FAQs

If your halitosis doesn’t resolve with at-home remedies—changing your diet, upgrading your oral hygiene, using over-the-counter products—it’s time to check in with our dentist in Mt. Holly, NJ.

Warning signs include: 

  • Inflamed or Bleeding Gums
  • Tooth Sensitivity or Pain
  • Bad Taste in Your Mouth

If you experience any of these, reach out right away.

We explore diet changes, improved hygiene techniques, specialized mouth rinses, dental fillings, and more. Your care will be specific to you and your experience with this condition.

This depends on your individual gum health, but SRP is often a one-time treatment to address existing issues, followed by routine visits to maintain results.
