Hello,
It's common to wonder about persistent bad breath after a cleaning.
While a cleaning removes plaque and tartar buildup, which are common culprits, there are several other factors that can contribute to this issue-
* Food: Strong-smelling foods or high
sugar intake.
* Dehydration: Not enough saliva to wash away bacteria. (Dry mouth)
* Oral Hygiene: Not cleaning your tongue or flossing well.
* GI Issues: Acid reflux or other digestive problems.
* Sinus Issues
Next Steps
Review your diet, hydration, and oral hygiene.
If it continues, see a physician to rule out any underlying medical conditions.
