Do bad breath is serious?

In most cases, bad breath isn’t serious, but if it lasts longer than a few weeks, it may be evidence of a deeper underlying problem and require medical attention. With proper cleaning and exam, your dentist can help rule out any oral health problems and advise you on the next steps, including what types of dental products to use, treatment plans to take care of cavities or gum disease or refer you to a hospital to follow up. Our dental team will be able to see and treat the problem during your regular check-ups. The earlier the problems are found, the more effective the treatment will be.
