Bad breath is one of the symptoms of periodontitis

When bad breath is more than just discomfort

It not only makes social communication difficult, but can also lead to tooth loss.

The cause of this odor is dental plaque.

If it is not removed in time, the bacteria "living" there can get under the gums and begin feeding on them and on the jawbone.

The immune system, of course, will not let them consume you completely. However, inflammation in this case is almost inevitable.

The fact is that inflammation is one of the immune system's ways of fighting invading bacteria. And everything would be fine, but our internal army - that is, the immune system - does not care about teeth. Its task is to preserve life, and for that it can easily sacrifice teeth.

But you definitely will not like life without teeth, so if you develop persistent bad breath, and especially if it is accompanied by bleeding gums during brushing, pain while chewing, or the formation of deep pockets between the gums and teeth - contact a periodontist immediately.

Our specialists have all the necessary tools for successfully fighting periodontitis.

The main thing is not to lose time, because otherwise you may lose your teeth.
