Halitosis, commonly known as bad breath, is a condition caused by odor-producing bacteria in the mouth, gum disease, dry mouth, or underlying health issues. While occasional bad breath is normal, persistent halitosis may indicate a deeper oral health concern and should not be ignored. Proper oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups play an important role in managing and preventing long-term bad breath.

Dental scaling is a professional teeth cleaning procedure that removes plaque and hardened tartar from the teeth and along the gum line. It plays an important role in preventing gum disease, cavities, and bad breath while supporting overall oral health. Regular teeth scaling, combined with good daily oral care, helps maintain healthy gums, cleaner teeth, and long-term oral hygiene.
