Fighting back against bad breath can often leave you feeling like you’re on the losing end of the battle. Did you know that ninety million 
Americans struggle with the same thing? Gum, breath mints, mouthwash– these are all fine for after you’ve eaten strong smelling foods or for other, less bothersome mouth odors. But persistent halitosis is not solved using these methods, in fact, they may even aggravate the problem, and you’re left embarrassed and frustrated. Where can you find the help you need? At Dr. Tim Brooks’ office, one of OKC’s premier general and cosmetic dentistry practices. Dr. Brooks combats bad breath with a three-fold process that will restore your self-confidence!
There are many problems which can cause halitosis. One is decaying food particles; another is bacteria which produces a foul odor. Some cases can be traced to an underlying medical condition, or some stage of gum disease may be involved. Whatever is causing your bad breath, Dr. Brooks will carefully inspect your mouth to determine the source of your problem. Then he’ll provide a treatment that will target your particular issue, and get you back on the road to sweet-smelling breath.
What approach does Dr. Brooks use in halitosis treatment? It could be as simple as recommending a more thorough homecare routine and attending regular deep cleaning sessions at our Oklahoma City dental office. If he finds signs of periodontal disease, and suspects it may be the culprit, Dr. Brooks will determine whether non-invasive gum therapy will effectively restore the health of your gums and mouth. Many patients have found great success with BreathRx, a system that neutralizes bad breath and kills odor-causing bacteria.
