Just about everyone has suffered from bad breath at one point in their life. From morning breath to garlic breath, there are many forms of bad breath. But did you know that bad breath can be a sign of something much more serious than an offensive odor?
We have been serving our patients since 1988 and have seen a wide variety of bad breath cases.
