Causes of Bad Breath

Most of us experience bad breath at one point or another; after all, it’s only natural. Bad breath can happen anytime due to the hundreds of types of bad-breath causing bacteria that live in your mouth. Often, bad breath isn’t serious and is treatable by our doctors at Downtown Dental LLC, but sometimes it can be a symptom of an underlying medical condition. To guarantee your oral health is in good status, visit our office twice a year for professional cleanings.


Bad breath can be caused by a variety of reasons, such as dry mouth, gum disease, or simply just the food and beverages you’ve consumed. Practicing proper oral hygiene with brushing and flossing is critical to bad breath prevention. In addition to brushing and flossing on a daily basis, use American Dental Association (ADA) toothpaste and don’t forget to brush your tongue!


If you have questions or concerns regarding bad breath, please give us a call. To learn about the services we provide at our practice, visit www.downtown-dental.com for more information. To schedule an appointment with one of our doctors at Downtown Dental LLC in Chicago, IL, call 312-782-8862.
