Why Bad Breath Could Be a Warning Sign for Your Dental Health

Bad breath isn’t just a social inconvenience—it could be your body’s way of telling you something is wrong. At Dr. Monica Morgan’s office in Tampa, we help patients uncover the real cause of bad breath and treat it from the source.

🔍 Most Common Causes of Bad Breath:

  • Plaque buildup: Poor brushing and flossing habits allow bacteria to accumulate, releasing foul-smelling sulfur compounds.

  • Tooth decay: Cavities and dental infections can lead to persistent bad odor.

  • Gum disease: Periodontal infections are a serious and often overlooked cause of chronic bad breath.

  • Dry mouth: Saliva helps clean your mouth. Without enough of it, bacteria thrive and odors worsen.

How We Can Help:

  • Comprehensive dental exam to detect hidden decay or infections.

  • Professional cleaning to remove plaque and tartar.

  • Periodontal treatments for gum disease.

  • Personalized oral hygiene guidance and prevention tips.

💡 Quick Tip: Don’t just mask the smell with mouthwash—bad breath must be treated at its root.
