Bad Breath

Halitosis, another name for bad breath, is a prevalent issue that may cause discomfort in social and professional contexts. At Dentistry on Dufferin, we recognize the aggravating and perhaps humiliating nature of foul breath. For a short-term remedy, mouthwash, gum, or mints are sometimes used, although they only momentarily cover up the stench. Finding and treating the underlying cause of foul breath is crucial to its effective treatment. Breath may often be improved with regular dental care. If the issue continues, however, it can indicate a more serious dental or medical condition. Our Toronto dentist office is here to assist you in identifying the cause and provide long-lasting remedies for better oral health and breath. The origin or underlying cause of foul breath smells varies. Although the majority of people only have moderate instances of bad breath that may be resolved at home with a good oral hygiene routine, certain situations call for the assistance of a dentist.

Gum Disease

Gum disease affects both the soft and hard tissues of the mouth and is a degenerative disorder. This condition starts with a gum infection, which may result in bleeding and inflammation, as well as gum recession, tooth loss, and systemic health issues. Gum disease will worsen and eventually damage teeth, gums, and bone if therapy is not received. The best course of action is to get treatment right away if you are exhibiting symptoms of gum disease. Our Toronto dentistry can assist in restoring the health of your gums and smile by offering periodontal therapy for gum disease at every stage.
