How is Halitosis Treated?

Diagnosis identifies oral causes (plaque, tongue bacteria, gum disease) via exam and breath tests; treatment starts with deep cleaning (scaling/root planing), tongue debridement and prescription rinses like chlorhexidine or zinc-based formulas.

Common treatment steps

  • Professional cleaning removes plaque/tartar buildup below gumline.
  • Tongue scraping eliminates bacterial coating (main VSC source).
  • Antimicrobial rinses (CPC, essential oils, zinc) kill odor bacteria.
  • Periodontal therapy or dry mouth management if needed.

Keys to lasting fresh breath

  • Daily tongue cleaning + flossing prevents recurrence.
  • Hydration and sugar-free gum stimulate saliva flow.
  • 3-6 month recall cleanings maintain results.
