What Causes Halitosis and How Is It Treated?
Around 85% of bad breath originates in the mouth — from bacteria on the tongue, gum disease, decay or dry mouth — and is treated by identifying and removing the source. Comprehensive treatment combines professional cleaning, gum therapy if needed, and a tailored hygiene routine.
The Halitosis Treatment Pathway
- Examination to locate the source (gums, tongue, teeth, sinuses)
- Professional scale and polish to remove plaque and tartar
- Periodontal (gum disease) treatment if required
- Treatment of decay and replacement of leaking fillings
- Tongue-cleaning routine and dry-mouth management advice
Lasting Fresh Breath
Once the underlying cause is treated, a simple daily routine keeps breath fresh. Turkish clinics offer all of this at 50–70% below UK prices, often within a single trip.
