The cause of bad breath is 90% caused by teeth, gums and mouth. Other causes are digestive, respiratory systems and systemic diseases (diabetes, etc.). For bad breath, areas are needed where food residues after chewing will get stuck and ferment and turn into odor. Decayed or broken teeth and diseased gums that have formed pockets around the teeth are the primary causes of bad breath. Irregular edge-compatible fillings that will cause inflammation in the gums, unhygienic fixed or removable dentures with bad gum relations are also factors that will cause bad breath. In addition to all these, the hygiene habits of patients should not be ignored. Bad breath can only be eliminated after expert treatment planning.

Titanium metal used in implant treatments has begun to be used in the mouth after long-term research. There have been no foreign body reactions reported to date. It is a material that can be integrated with bone and is biocompatible with body tissues and organs. Implant treatments are extremely sensitive, complicated and long-term treatments. For this reason, at first glance, it seems to be more expensive than other conventional treatments. However, when making such a comparison, the fact that biological value is important as well as financial value, that it is the closest solution to nature, and that evaluation is made by taking into account the duration of function in the mouth, reveals the healthiest and most economical treatment. Unlike any other branch of medicine, the functional period of implant-supported prostheses in the mouth cannot be interpreted as lifelong. Such an interpretation should first be made by excluding systemic (diseases that may cause rapid bone loss and infection) and local (excessive smoking, alcohol use, failure to perform necessary oral hygiene, etc.) factors. However, it is a much longer-lasting and more tissue-preserving treatment method than alternative conventional treatments.

A gum disease and surgery specialist (periodontologist) should be consulted without delay. Bleeding gums are an indication of diseased, inflamed and infected surrounding tissues. Infected gum, connective tissue and even bone must be cleared of inflammation using advanced techniques.

After tooth extraction, a fixed bridge prosthesis or an implant-supported prosthesis must be planned to take over the role of the extracted tooth in that area. Missing a tooth imposes a huge biological burden on the patient in the long term, even if not in the initial years. Problems with the jaws closing with each other due to this missing tooth, interface caries due to difficulty in hygiene, and advanced gum and bone loss are just some of the problems that the patient will experience.

In this condition, called acute pericoronitis, which occurs when wisdom teeth fail to erupt, the gum on the tooth is edematous, infected and painful. In such a situation, which will also cause bad breath, the use of antibiotics will be a temporary solution, and the causative agent of the infection will still remain in the mouth. Not surgically extracting this type of teeth also puts the patient at risk of transferring the existing infection to another organ.

A dislodged or protruding tooth should be brought to a dentist without delay in a wet environment under the tongue or in a milk jug. Clinical research has proven that teeth that are replaced within an hour do not lose their vitality.

This type of frequently applied method does not harm tooth enamel. The controlled chemical agent used is not effective on the enamel, but on the underlying tissue called dentin, which gives the tooth its original color.
