According to some studies almost 25% of the population suffer from bad breath or halitosis. It can be a real source of consternation and can destroy a persons confidence and self esteem.

At the Glasgow Smile Clinic, our Fresh Breath clinic looks at the different sources and areas that may be contributing to the problem, and then once identified, effective recommendations can me made to make sure that this problem is treated quickly.

In general, bad breath usually comes as a result of problems with the teeth or gums, stomach acid reflux or catarrh from a post nasal drip. Volatile Sulfer Compounds(VSC) produced by bacteria in the mouth then cause the offending smell.
