Chronic bad breath, or halitosis, can leave you feeling self-conscious and frustrated, no matter how much you brush or floss. That’s because brushing or flossing isn’t the answer. You need scaling and root planing (SRP), a specialized bad breath treatment at Meridiana Family Dental. With this procedure combined with ongoing support, our dentist near Rosharon, TX, can set you on the path to finally breathing easier.
Our teeth-cleaning dentist thoroughly examines your oral health, identifying plaque, tartar, and signs of inflammation below your gumline.
We carefully remove built-up plaque and tartar from your teeth’s surface and beneath the gumline. This eliminates the bacteria contributing to bad breath and gum disease.
Next, we smooth the surface of your tooth roots. This helps prevent bacteria from reattaching, promotes healing, and reduces the formation of pockets around the teeth.
We’ll guide you through proper oral care practices to maintain your results. Regular cleanings and good hygiene habits help keep halitosis at bay.
Choosing to treat halitosis goes far beyond eliminating unpleasant odors—it’s about reclaiming your confidence and improving your overall quality of life. Chronic bad breath can impact how you interact with others, affecting personal relationships and professional opportunities.
Not only that, but you also reduce the risk of underlying concerns such as gum disease, tooth decay, or systemic health conditions linked to poor oral hygiene. Fresher breath means more comfort in social settings, speaking freely without worry, and protecting your future health.
Permanent relief starts with tackling the root cause. SRP addresses bacteria and plaque buildup that at-home methods often miss. With routine dental checkups, proper oral hygiene, regular hydration, and avoiding trigger foods, you’ll be on your way to fresher, more confident breath.
