Halitosis Treatment in MacKinney, TX
Chronic halitosis is a common problem for more than 50 million people in the United States. Some people find that over the counter treatments such as mouthwash and breath mints are enough to mask the problem. But for those people who want to cure the cause of their halitosis, these remedies are not enough.
Most people with chronic halitosis suffer from excessive build up of a bacteria on the back of the tongue called volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs) that are produced from the breakdown of proteins in the mouth. VSCs are one of the leading halitosis causes and are more than likely responsible for the offensive breath odors that go along with halitosis.
Treatment for Bad Breath
The most common treatments for bad breath are tooth brushes, mouthwash and tongue scraping. Although these are helpful in masking the smell of bad breath, they do not cure the problem and are a short term solution to a long term problem.
