Dr. Koo is the best! His staff is amazing and so friendly. My family loves him too. Great with kids. Dr. Koo is very fast, efficient and painless. I’m very sensitive and going to the dentist has always been so scary for me. Not with Dr. Koo, he’s a master at the painless novocaine shot!

If you’ve ever felt the need to step back during a conversation or second-guess a close interaction, August 6—National Fresh Breath Day—offers the perfect opportunity for a breath breakthrough. Persistent bad breath isn’t just frustrating; it’s often a signal from your body that something deeper may be going on.
What’s Really Causing the Smell?
Bad breath, or halitosis, is most often caused by bacteria that collect in hard-to-clean areas of the mouth. These bacteria feed on leftover food particles and release unpleasant-smelling sulfur compounds.
Contributing factors include dry mouth, gum infections, poor oral hygiene, high-protein diets, and certain medications. If bad breath sticks around despite brushing and rinsing, it’s time for professional insight.
How a Dental Visit Can Help
A comprehensive dental exam can uncover what’s driving the odor. Whether it’s plaque buildup, early signs of gum disease, or something as simple as dry mouth, your dentist can create a customized plan to restore freshness.
Treatment may include a deep cleaning, product recommendations, or strategies to improve moisture and hygiene.
