Bad Breath Treatment in Las Vegas

What Really Works Long-Term

Worried about bad breath that just won’t go away — no matter how much you brush, rinse, or chew gum?

You’re not alone. Chronic bad breath, or halitosis, affects millions of people and often has deeper causes than just your diet.

At Desert Hills Dental, we offer personalized, judgment-free bad breath treatment in Las Vegas that focuses on lasting results — not temporary fixes.

What causes bad breath?

Occasional bad breath is normal. But if it’s persistent, there’s likely an underlying issue. Common causes include:

• Bacteria buildup from poor brushing or flossing

• Gum disease (gingivitis or periodontitis)

• Dry mouth (from medication or breathing habits)

• Tooth decay or infected teeth

• Old dental work that traps bacteria

• Tonsil stones or sinus issues

Mouthwashes and mints only mask the problem. To fix it, we have to find the root cause — and treat it directly.

How we treat chronic bad breath

1. Comprehensive exam

We check your gums, teeth, and tongue for signs of infection, buildup, or decay. We also ask about your medical history and habits.

2. Professional cleaning

A thorough cleaning removes plaque, tartar, and bacteria that can’t be reached with brushing alone — especially below the gumline.

3. Periodontal care (if needed)

If gum disease is present, we may recommend deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) to remove infection and stop further damage.

4. Home care recommendations

We’ll guide you on tools and habits that make the biggest difference — like tongue scraping, dry mouth products, and more effective flossing techniques.

5. Follow-up and maintenance

With regular cleanings and consistent care, most cases of bad breath improve — and stay that way.

What really works long-term?

Lasting fresh breath comes down to:

• Daily brushing and flossing (don’t skip flossing!)

• Cleaning your tongue (a major source of odor-causing bacteria)

• Hydration to prevent dry mouth

• Routine dental visits every 6 months

• Treating gum disease early

• Replacing old restorations if they’re harboring bacteria

If your bad breath is related to a deeper infection or decay, we’ll treat the issue before it worsens.

What about over-the-counter products?

Mouthwash, breath sprays, and sugar-free gum can help temporarily — but they won’t resolve a medical issue like gum disease or dry mouth.

That’s why personalized care from a dental professional is the best long-term solution.
