You may already know that having bad breath can be annoying and embarrassing. Still, would you be surprised to learn that bad breath could actually indicate a more serious problem? However, have you ever wondered if mouthwashes or chewing gums could help you improve your breath?

Untreated tooth decay poses an ever-increasing threat to your oral health and it can even pose a threat to your general health. As it compromises more and more of the tooth, the bacterial presence can gradually start to affect the root and even cause an infection in the socket. Many people with a tooth in this condition will experience a toothache. This could even accompany a feeling of pressure, discomfort, or pain deep in the gums.

Here at Lakeland Dental Care, Dr. Alex Abernathy and our staff understand just how important your smile’s appearance is for your self-esteem and social life success. When your teeth are affected by cosmetic imperfections, Dr. Alex Abernathy works quickly to help you find the most successful method to enhance your smile.
