We Can Help You Eliminate Halitosis

We have all experienced bad breath after eating certain foods. That kind of breath problem is temporary and can often be eliminated by brushing teeth or rinsing with mouthwash. Chronic halitosis, however, is a problem that requires more work to address. Fortunately, your general dental practice includes specialists who can provide expert guidance to address your condition. To provide the best treatment for you, we must first identify the cause or causes of your situation. You may have one or more of these contributing factors:

Harmful Bacteria - Your mouth is already home to harmful bacteria. Brushing, flossing, and regular professional cleanings can keep bacteria in check. If you neglect these practices, your breath may reflect it.
Dry Mouth - A dry mouth creates a perfect environment for harmful bacteria. As they multiply, it can create an unpleasant odor.
Gum Disease - If you have periodontal disease, you need to seek treatment right away. Persistent bad breath can indicate you have an advanced infection. Our periodontist Dr. Jonathan Gordon can get your gums back in good shape.
Medical Problems - A number of conditions - including diabetes, liver disease, kidney disease, and gastric reflux - can have bad breath as a symptom. If we suspect you may have a medical condition, we will encourage you to visit your physician.
Tobacco Use - The longer you are a tobacco user, the less likely you are to notice the odor that results from smoking. That doesn't stop other people from noticing, though. We can provide suggestions to help you stop smoking.

If any dental office can find a fix for your halitosis, it's the team at Anacapa Dental Art Institute. Start treatment for your bad breath in Oxnard, CA by calling us today for an appointment. You can also schedule online if you prefer.

Dr. Jivraj and his staff are the absolute BEST in the industry and we are so lucky they're in practice here, locally, in Ventura County. They worked with me on every aspect of my dental journey. I couldn't have asked for anything more. They're upfront, forthright, and honest. I can't recommend anyone to a better dental group than Anacapa Dental Art Institute. You'll be amazed at how they can change your image of self. Smile again without any worry of what others will think, and give you back your self-confidence.

I have both upper and lower complete implants and couldn't be happier. Dr. J and his assistant Laura are amazing. My appointments always started on time, there was minimal pain, and they always called at home to check in on me. The office is equipped with incredible state-of-the-art...

Barbara J.

Dr. Jivraj is a perfectionist, top-notch, and he expects nothing less from his team. Point blank, he's the best. He laid out a plan. He said, "In 6-8 months I'll have you crunching on an apple." I had no doubt that he meant every word. He exuded confidence and made me feel completely comfortable. His wonderful financing department came up with a plan that was affordable for me, and got me interest-free financing for up to 2 years. Not once throughout this process was I made to feel uncomfortable or embarrassed, and they treated me like family.

Steven W.

This place is professional, comprehensive, and nice. Loved the staff and loved the holistic look that the doctor took to consider my orthodontics (being done elsewhere) and sleep apnea and making requests of the orthodontist to account for the issue. Anyway, I just went in for routine cleaning,...

Anthony V.

I was immediately impressed by the attentiveness from the employees at the front desk. They were joyful and made you feel immediately at ease. They then took me on a tour of the facility. The rooms were super clean and all equipment is state of the art. I was introduced to pretty much everyone on staff and they were all happy and friendly. After having X-rays, I then met with the dentist. He was very knowledgeable and I agreed with everything he discussed in regards to the problems with my teeth.

Denise D.

Traveling from overseas and broke my dentures the day before departure. Once in LA, I started looking for a dentist. I made an appointment with Dr. J. I was my lucky day:) after crossing the threshold of Anacapa I felt at home. I couldn't believe it but the Dr. took my dentures and fixed them, so just saw my desperation saw me , not only my money. the tears poured into my eyes by themselves. After this we talked about options, yes, it's a lot of money, but it's worth it. Today I have lower fixed dentures and love them.

Where does bad breath come from?

Bad breath can have many causes. When you visit us for breath treatment, we'll explore these sources to determine what is causing your foul-smelling breath. It could be decay or cavities, gum disease, an infected tooth, or a chronic dry mouth. With our help, you can successfully manage your bad breath and avoid embarrassment.

Can bad breath be cured?

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.

Which foods cause bad breath?

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.

Can bad breath be a sign of illness?

Bad breath can sometimes indicate an underlying illness. Infections in the mouth can cause an unpleasant odor in your breath, and some types of cancers can also cause a distinctive type of bad breath. Gastroesophageal reflux disease, or GERD, can also create bad breath. However, the cause of your bad breath is likely something simpler than a disease, such as cavities, dry mouth, or gum disease.
