There’s nothing worse than knowing you have bad breath; it’s embarrassing, and it can affect your social interactions and self-confidence. At Aesthetic Dentistry of Lake Oswego, we use saliva testing to identify the underlying causes of bad breath so you can work to overcome this common concern.
By looking at the biological markers in your saliva, we can customize a treatment plan and give you a reason to smile again.
Can Saliva Testing Help with Bad Breath?
Yes, saliva testing can help us form an effective treatment plan for bad breath. And with ongoing testing, we can monitor your oral health.
Here’s how:
- Saliva testing analyzes your oral microbiome and identifies harmful bacteria that can cause bad breath.
- Saliva testing identifies gum disease, a leading cause of bad breath.
- Saliva testing diagnoses dry mouth, and not enough saliva causes food particles to stick to your teeth. This leads to mouth odors.
