AT D & L Dental Dental, we have been treating the problem of halitosis since 1997. Halitosis, commonly known as "bad breath", has many sources. One of the little known sources of bad breath is called tonsilar crypts. This term refers to spaces between our tonsils and in these spaces, food debris and bacteria can collect and remain for days and weeks. And with the mouth being moist all the time, bacteria will be teeming in these crypts causing foul odors and the only way to remove the odor is to have your dentist, familiar with this type of treatment, flush the debris from the crypts. At your halitosis consultation, the doctors will discuss other factors that cause halitosis and recommend and effective treatment regimen.
