Bad breath, medically known as halitosis, is a persistent unpleasant odour from the mouth that affects millions of people daily. This condition occurs when bacteria in your mouth break down food particles and produce sulphur compounds that create foul-smelling gases. Most cases stem from poor oral hygiene, gum disease, or tongue bacteria buildup. However, bad breath can also signal underlying dental problems like tooth decay, infected gums, or dry mouth conditions.
You should seek professional treatment when bad breath persists despite regular brushing and flossing, when others comment on the odour, or when you notice additional symptoms like bleeding gums, tooth pain, or a persistent metallic taste. Bad breath that doesn't improve with basic oral care often indicates bacterial infections in your gums or between your teeth that require specialist attention.
At London Dental Specialists, Dr. Ope Sodeinde and our expert team diagnose the root causes of persistent bad breath through detailed examinations of your gums, teeth, and oral tissues. We treat underlying gum disease, remove bacterial buildup, and provide targeted solutions to restore fresh breath confidence. Our Central London clinic serves patients throughout the greater London area with evidence-based treatments that address both the symptoms and underlying causes of halitosis.

Bad breath, or halitosis, can stem from several sources. Poor oral hygiene is the most common culprit. Food particles trapped between teeth create a feast for bacteria, which produce unpleasant odours. Gum disease, dry mouth, certain foods like garlic and onions, smoking, and underlying health conditions can also contribute. You might notice it yourself, but often others detect it first. Some people cup their hands over their mouth and nose to check their breath. A more reliable method is licking your wrist, letting it dry, then smelling it. If you're concerned, our dental specialists can perform a thorough assessment to identify the exact cause and recommend the most effective treatment approach.
The encouraging news is that most cases of bad breath can be successfully treated and prevented from returning. When caused by poor oral hygiene or gum disease, proper treatment and improved daily care routines often provide lasting results. Our periodontics specialist, Dr. Ope Sodeinde, can address underlying gum problems that contribute to persistent bad breath. However, success depends on maintaining excellent oral hygiene at home and attending regular dental check-ups. Some medical conditions may require ongoing management, but even these cases can be significantly improved. The key is identifying the root cause and following a comprehensive treatment plan tailored to your specific situation.
Many patients notice improvements within days of beginning proper treatment. Simple changes like thorough brushing, flossing, and using an antibacterial mouthwash can provide immediate benefits. Professional dental cleaning often delivers noticeable results within 24 to 48 hours. More complex cases involving gum disease or other underlying conditions may take several weeks to show significant improvement. The timeline varies based on the severity of your condition and how well you follow the recommended treatment plan. During your consultation, we'll provide a realistic timeframe based on your specific circumstances and explain what to expect during each stage of treatment.
Most bad breath treatments are comfortable and pain-free. Professional dental cleaning involves minimal discomfort, similar to a routine check-up. If gum disease treatment is needed, we use local anaesthesia to ensure your comfort during any procedures. Our clinic also offers sedation dentistry for patients who feel anxious about treatment. Post-treatment sensitivity is typically mild and temporary. We provide detailed aftercare instructions and recommend appropriate pain relief if needed. Our experienced team uses gentle, modern techniques designed to minimise discomfort while maximising treatment effectiveness. Your comfort throughout the process is our priority, and we'll discuss any concerns you have before beginning treatment.
Treatment costs vary depending on the underlying cause and complexity of your case. Basic professional cleaning and oral hygiene guidance are typically more affordable than extensive gum disease treatment. Many dental insurance plans cover routine cleanings and basic periodontal therapy, though coverage varies by provider and policy. We accept major dental insurance plans and can help verify your benefits before treatment begins. For treatments not fully covered by insurance, we offer flexible payment plans and financing options to make care accessible. During your consultation, we'll provide a detailed treatment estimate and discuss all available payment options to suit your budget.
Excellent daily oral hygiene forms the foundation of fresh breath. Brush your teeth twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, paying special attention to the gum line where bacteria accumulate. Floss daily to remove food particles and plaque between teeth that your toothbrush cannot reach. Don't forget your tongue. Bacteria love to hide on its surface, so gentle brushing or using a tongue scraper helps enormously. Stay hydrated to maintain healthy saliva flow, which naturally cleanses your mouth. Avoid tobacco products and limit foods known to cause bad breath. Regular dental check-ups every six months allow us to catch and address potential problems before they affect your breath.
While most bad breath originates from oral causes, persistent halitosis can sometimes signal underlying health conditions. Gum disease, if left untreated, can lead to tooth loss and has been linked to heart disease and diabetes complications. Chronic bad breath might also indicate sinus infections, respiratory conditions, digestive issues, or other medical problems. This is why professional evaluation is so important. Our dental specialists can distinguish between oral and systemic causes of bad breath. If we suspect a medical condition, we'll coordinate with your GP or refer you to appropriate specialists. Early detection and treatment of any underlying issues protects both your oral health and overall wellbeing.
Whilst bad breath is often manageable, certain situations require immediate professional attention. Seek emergency care if your halitosis is accompanied by severe mouth pain, bleeding gums, or signs of infection such as swelling or fever. These symptoms may indicate serious underlying conditions requiring urgent treatment.
Contact London Dental Specialists immediately if you experience persistent bad breath alongside difficulty swallowing, severe dry mouth, or white patches in your mouth. Sudden onset of extremely foul breath with tooth pain could signal an abscess or advanced gum disease needing prompt intervention. Don't wait if bad breath occurs with facial swelling or high temperature.
