Realizing you have bad breath in the middle of the day can be disheartening. The only thing worse is somebody else letting you know you have bad breath! Chronic bad breath is a common issue, but it’s fortunately one with reliable solutions. If you’re in need of a partner to help get rid of bad breath permanently, Lake Olympia Dental is at your side. We provide judgment-free care to help you freshen your breath and regain your confidence.
Halitosis is the medical term for chronic bad breath. Patients suffering from halitosis may still have bad breath after brushing, signifying an underlying issue. Without targeted treatment, daily brushing and breath mints alone aren’t enough to bring lasting results. A dental check up with our team gives us the chance to find the source of your halitosis. From there, we’ll recommend treatment and lifestyle changes to take control of your oral health and leave with a fresh smile.
The most common cause of bad breath is bacteria that grows in the mouth. These bacteria break down proteins and produce sulfur compounds, which have an unpleasant odor. Other causes of bad breath include:
We provide bad breath remedies that are tailored to the source of the problem. In some cases, a dental cleaning will be enough to remove bacteria that cause bad breath. This is also a great time to share advice with patients on ways to improve their hygiene routines. When bad breath is the result of gum disease, a dental deep cleaning may be recommended. Also known as scaling and root planing, a deep dental cleaning goes below the gumline to clear hard to reach plaque and bacteria and promote better gum health. An antimicrobial mouthwash may also be recommended to fight off bacteria. Finally, we’ll be able to identify any other existing conditions and recommend a specialist to provide treatment if necessary.
If you’re struggling with halitosis and want fresher breath and a confident smile, don’t hesitate to book an appointment with us today! Our knowledgeable team will be here to help identify the underlying cause of bad breath and design an effective treatment plan that meets your needs. With our commitment to your oral health, you can trust that we will guide you toward optimal dental hygiene and a healthier smile.
Dr. Dinh is highly professional and very easy to talk to! He is very detail oriented and highly attentive to my concerns when it comes to my dental health, and will go over everything with me very well making it easy for me to understand. Dr. Dinh has been my favorite Dentist for a while now, I’ve been to his other locations and got offered the same care every time.

Wow highly recommend I meet Dr. Dinh in a previous dental office, and what can I say I have always been afraid of the dentist with the numbing process. How ever Dr. Dinh has made me feel so comfortable that I didn’t even feel when he numb me he did 5 fillings and I didn’t feel a dam thing. He sure knows what he is doing 100% recommended I sure will be recommending my family and friends to him.
