I can not say enough about my experience at Family Dentistry. Everyone from the office staff, receptionist Jill, dental assistant Lisa, and Dr. Phillips were kind, caring, and compassionate. I felt like I was family. They cater to cowards. I was not looking forward to having the dental work I needed. My visit was excellent. The dental assistant Lisa actually noticed and alerted the dentist to a problem not related to the procedure I was having. They both were so gentle, making sure I was comfortable throughout the procedure. (I love they have a bumper guard to help keep your mouth open). They explained everything they were doing and made sure I was pain-free. I would highly recommend everyone I had contact with. Thank you to each one of you for caring!

Improve Your Breath With Comprehensive Solutions
There are numerous causes behind bad breath. It can stem from poor oral hygiene, certain foods, tobacco use, dry mouth, or even disease. Ignoring bad breath won’t make it go away and might lead to more serious dental problems down the road.
If you have persistent bad breath, don’t wait to make an appointment. It can signal gum disease, cavities, or other underlying health issues. During your checkup, your dentist will work with you on identifying the cause behind your bad breath. Depending on his findings, he may recommend:
- Restorative Care – Your dentist will fix dental issues triggering bad breath, such as cavities or seriously damaged teeth. After treatment, you’ll have a healthier smile that is less likely to trap odor-causing bacteria.
- Gum Disease Treatment – Our team will eliminate disease with a special deep cleaning or other treatment.
- Thorough Cleaning – Regular cleanings help prevent bad breath from occurring. Your hygienist will perform a professional dental cleaning. They will remove plaque and tartar buildup that regular brushing can’t reach. You’ll gain a noticeably cleaner, fresher mouth.
- Dry Mouth Treatment – If dry mouth is causing your bad breath, your dentist may recommend products you can use at home to relieve the condition. Treatment often brings quick relief. It will restore saliva production in your mouth while reducing bad breath.
- Product Recommendations – Your dentist can suggest specific toothpastes, mouthwashes, or tongue cleaners tailored to combat bad breath. When used as directed, these products can provide ongoing freshness and support your overall oral health routine.

Everybody wants the freshest breath possible. The foods and drinks we consume are only partially responsible for the bad breath many of us suffer from. Of course, foods like onion and garlic can give us bad breath, but lack of proper brushing and flossing also play a role. Certain illnesses as well as chronic dry mouth can give us bad breath, too.
Over the years, we have helped many patients control their bad breath, so we are confident we can help you if you’re in the same situation. We may recommend personal oral hygiene changes, dental treatments, or specialty rinses that can help. If you have bad breath, there is hope, so don’t hesitate to come see us.
Of all the things that can cause bad breath, perhaps the foods we eat are the easiest to monitor and control. Several notorious foods contribute to foul breath, such as garlic, onions, dairy, eggs, canned tuna, and horseradish. Limit your intake of these foods and brush after consuming them so they don’t contribute to your breath problem.
