Bad Breath
Identifying and Treating the Cause
Understanding Bad Breath
At Dentistry of Upland, we understand that persistent bad breath (halitosis) can affect both confidence and overall health. While occasional odor may come from strong foods or poor brushing habits, chronic bad breath is often linked to deeper issues such as gum disease, dry mouth, or infection. In some cases, it may even signal underlying health conditions that need attention. Common causes of bad breath include:
Plaque and bacteria buildup on teeth or tongue
Medical conditions affecting overall health
Gum disease or oral infection
