Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
i am suffering from Halitosis... I have tried going to a dentist, cleaning, maintaining daily routine of oral hygiene i.e. brushing atleast twice, flossing, gargling after eating sweet dishes etc. but it is increasing day by day and i am really in big trauma.
Need not to worry. I would suggest you to visit oral physician once and get complete examination done and start treatment accordingly. You should go for scaling and root cleaning of oral cavity. Avoid intake of spicy and sharp food and use antiseptic mouthwash rinses. Do warm saline gargles on daily basis. Do Not lay down immediately after having food. Chew on sugar free candies to stimulate salivary flow.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon. Best Wishes, Dr. Harry Maheshwari
