# Bad breath: how to address halitosis through periodontal care at Forest & Ray 🦷

**Bad breath** 😷, or **halitosis**, often stems from periodontal issues, such as **gum disease**, rather than simple dietary factors. Gum disease is caused by the buildup of **plaque** — a sticky film of bacteria 🦠 —on teeth, which leads to inflammation and infection in the gums. As the bacteria proliferate, they release harmful toxins and volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs), resulting in unpleasant odours and worsening oral health.

At Forest & Ray, we focus on the periodontal causes of bad breath. Early-stage gum disease (gingivitis) can frequently be reversed through improved oral hygiene, but advanced stages (**periodontitis**) require professional treatment.
Our **periodontists** offer several form of **periodontal treatments in London** like deep cleaning treatments (**scaling and root planing**) to remove bacteria and plaque from below the gum line. This helps eliminate the bacterial sources of bad breath and restores gum health.

Additionally, regular periodontal check-ups are essential for preventing gum disease from progressing. At Forest & Ray, we provide comprehensive periodontal care (also **surgical periodontal treatment**) tailored to your needs, ensuring long-term fresh breath and healthier gums. We are located in *Camden*, near *Westminster* and the *EC1* postcode area 📍.
