Bad Breath (halitosis) Can Be Treated At Dr. Rand Waldron
Dr.
Waldron feels that while bad breath might be a symptom of some
other disorder, it most likely stems from dental decay and periodontitis.
Periodontitis is a disease affecting gums and bone that support the
teeth, and it results from inadequate tooth brushing and flossing as
well as other genetic and health issues. In this disease, the irritated
gums pull away from the teeth and form pockets between the teeth and the
gums. These pockets fill with bacteria and pus which give off a foul
odor.
