What’s Your Breath Trying to Tell You? (It’s More Than You Think)
By Regency Dental Group Includes video
Persistent bad breath can be a warning sign of underlying health issues. If it doesn’t go away with regular brushing, flossing, and tongue scraping, it could indicate gum disease or other conditions such as acid reflux, post-nasal drip, tonsil stones, or gastrointestinal problems. Gum disease has also been linked to serious systemic conditions like heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and Alzheimer’s. Don’t ignore the signs—schedule a dental checkup to address the cause and protect both your oral and overall health.
