While it might be embarrassing to tell someone close to you that their breath stinks, it\u2019s actually a good idea because bad breath is the early indicator of more serious oral health issues. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.virginiadentistrybydesign.com\/general-dentistry.html\">Dr. Sonia Dilolli<\/a> is your premiere Herndon dentist, and she\u2019s here to shed some light on the underlying causes of bad breath.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h3>Periodontal Disease<\/h3>\n<p>Did you know that chronic halitosis, or <a href=\"http:\/\/www.webmd.com\/oral-health\/guide\/bad-breath#1\" target=\"_blank\">bad breath<\/a>, is one of the early indicators of periodontal (gum) disease? Gingivitis is the first stage of gum disease and if detected early on, you can effectively manage and sometimes even reverse gingivitis. It\u2019s in this stage that you might notice that:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>You have bad breath that won\u2019t go away<\/li>\n<li>Your gums are red and swollen<\/li>\n<li>Your gums bleed when you brush your teeth<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Now is the time to contact Dr. Dilolli at Virginia Dentistry by Design, because she can help you manage your condition with a thorough professional cleaning and improvements to your home care routine.<\/p>\n<h3>Periodontitis<\/h3>\n<p>Periodontitis is the advanced stage of gum disease. This is the stage where damage to your bone and teeth begins to occur. If left untreated, gum disease will cause bone and tooth loss. Treating periodontitis requires a deeper cleaning that reaches below the gum line. Depending on the severity of your gum disease, antibiotics and sometimes surgery may be necessary.<\/p>\n<h3>Regular Dental Check Ups<\/h3>\n<p>Prevention is the key when it comes to effectively managing gum disease, and this is why it\u2019s important to visit your dentist every six months, or twice per year. Dr. Dilolli can detect periodontal disease early on and it\u2019s much easier and less invasive to treat.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019ve been told that you have bad breath, instead of being embarrassed or offended, take heed! Contact your dentist right away and schedule a cleaning and check up to determine the cause of your halitosis. It could be your best chance of preventing gum disease from progressing.<\/p>\n<p>At Virginia Dentistry by Design, we strive to be your partners in achieving and maintaining optimum oral health for a lifetime.
