Diagnosis & Treatment

Bad breath can have a negative impact on your social and professional life. Imagine asking someone out on a date when you have bad breath. Try to picture yourself talking to your boss in a professional environment when you have bad breath. At East Bentleigh Dental Group we will do whatever we can to give you fresher, cleaner breath.

At East Bentleigh Dental Group, we have the skills and state of the art equipment to diagnose and treat bad breath. We do not just give you tips on how to achieve proper oral hygiene, but we can determine the cause of your bad breath.

Diagnosis is the first step when treating bad breath. We use an Oral-Chroma which analyses the 50 gases present in your mouth. A Saliva Examination is then conducted for checking saliva volume, pH levels, and buffering capacity. A Lifestyle Quiz for examining medical possibilities, such as medicines, hygiene routine and dietary influences. Finally, a Clinical Examination can help confirm the diagnosis.

We understand that the main cause of bad breath can be bacteria in the mouth. Although we naturally have bacteria in our mouth, there are people who have excessive bacteria which can cause increased intensity of the smell of bad breath.

Treatment generally involves the balancing of bacteria levels in the mouth and maintains that level.

We typically commence treatment right after the diagnosis.

By knowing what causes your bad breath, we can help you get rid of it and help you have fresh, clean breath. Without proper treatment, stopping bad breath can be very difficult. However, at East Bentleigh Dental Group we can offer you pioneering ways in which to overcome bad breath. These treatments can stop the embarrassment of having bad breath for good.
