Many people rarely give their gums a second thought. That is, until they see their dentist! Swollen or red gums, bad breath, gums that bleed.

Many people have bad breath at some point, whether they notice it or not. The American Dental Association states that 50 percent of all adults reported having bad breath at one time or another. We interact with many people during our business and social activities, so having bad breath, or just worrying about bad breath can affect your quality of life. It’s also a sign of possible health concerns, so bad breath shouldn’t be ignored.

Bad breath is something that nobody wants. Beyond the nasty taste in your mouth, it’s beyond embarrassing to get close enough to someone who reacts to your bad breath. The underlying cause of chronic bad breath, or halitosis, can often be effectively cured through good oral hygiene, starting with a trip to your dentist.
