Treatment of halitosis (bad breath)
 Dr.
Kerbs feels that while bad breath might be a symptom of some
other disorder, it most likely stems from dental decay and
periodontitis.
Periodontitis is a disease affecting gums and bone that support the
teeth, and it results from inadequate tooth brushing and flossing. In this
disease, the irritated gums pull away from the teeth and form pockets
between the teeth and the gums. These pockets fill with bacteria and pus
which give off a foul odor.
In addition to treating the primary causes of bad breath
Dr. Kerbs also offers Oxyfresh, a prescription toothpaste and mouth wash
specially formulated for eliminating bad breath.
Please call our office at (760) 746-3663 if you have questions regarding halitosis.
