Halitosis Treatment in Ravenswood, Chicago

Common Causes of Halitosis

Bad breath can have many sources. Dr. Renieris will carefully evaluate your mouth and lifestyle to determine what’s causing it. Some common reasons include:

• Plaque buildup or gum disease
  
• Dry mouth (reduced saliva flow)
  
• Poor-fitting dental restorations
  
• Tongue coating or bacterial imbalance
  
• Dietary factors (coffee, garlic, tobacco, alcohol)
  
• Underlying medical conditions
  

During your visit, we’ll perform a complete dental exam to rule out oral health issues and provide guidance for long-term freshness.

Personalized Halitosis Treatment

There’s no one-size-fits-all fix for halitosis — and that’s why we focus on personalized care. Depending on what’s causing your symptoms, Dr. Renieris may recommend:

• Professional Cleaning: Removes odor-causing bacteria and tartar buildup.
  
• Gum Disease Treatment: Addresses infection and inflammation that contribute to bad breath.
  
• Fluoride or Antibacterial Rinses: Reduces bacterial growth and strengthens enamel.
  
• Lifestyle Adjustments: Simple changes to diet or hygiene habits for lasting results.
  

Our approach blends science, sensitivity, and simplicity — so you can focus on feeling your best again.
