Q.
What should I do if I have bad breath?
A.
If you think have a problem with your breath, consulting a dental professional is a great first step in the treatment and prevention of oral malodor. When you make an appointment to see your dentist or hygienist, it is a good to explain in advance that you will be asking for advice about improving your breath and solving a potential malodor problem. You may be advised not to eat, smoke, chew gum or take mints or engage in other activities that may make the detection of a potential problem more difficult for your dental professional. Also, reevaluate your oral care products. Are they designed to address bad breath?
