Breath Treatment
If bad breath keeps you from pursuing romantic relationships and speaking in social settings, we have great news for you. Dr. Richardson has helped many patients overcome the embarrassment of bad breath with effective and convenient breath treatments.
Halitosis, the clinical word for bad breath, can be caused by several factors, but primarily results from decaying food particles trapped in the tongue, back of the throat, and under the gums. Since typical oral home care, like brushing and flossing, may not be effective in reaching these areas, our hygienist will fully examine your gums and mouth to determine problems or deficiencies. She will educate you in proper flossing and brushing techniques. Mouthwash, gum, and mints are ineffective breath treatments and only temporarily hide the problem.
For severe halitosis cases, we recommend the revolutionary CloSYSII breath treatment. This system has proven effective in helping patients achieve fresh breath for up to five hours after treatment. Visit our patient library to learn more about CloSYSII breath treatments and halitosis. If you, or your social life, suffer from halitosis, call Dr. Richardson today. Our office serves patients in Melbourne, West Melbourne, and Palm Bay.
