More serious, however, is chronic bad breath, which does not improve over time, and results in a constant odor caused by bacterial build-up in the mouth and on the tongue. In turn, this bacteria forms volatile sulfur compounds (VSC’s), which may be an ongoing problem that must be treated professionally. Chronic halitosis may also manifest due to underlying conditions such as diabetes, sinusitis, and emphysema.

Fortunately, at Tribeca Smiles, we can diagnose the cause of your bad breath in addition to which type you suffer from, helping to eliminate the problem from your mouth and your life.
