Bad Breath Treatment in San Marino, CA
A Judgment-Free Approach to Treating Chronic Halitosis
Fresh Breath, Healthy Mouth — With Compassionate Care
Persistent bad breath — also known as chronic halitosis — can affect more than just your confidence. It’s often a sign of an underlying dental or health issue. At the San Marino dental office of Dr. Fary Yassamy, we offer discreet, personalized treatment for bad breath that addresses the root cause — not just the symptoms.
Using a whole-health approach grounded in modern diagnostics and years of clinical experience, Dr. Yassamy helps patients from San Marino and South Pasadena find real relief from chronic bad breath, without embarrassment or judgment.
What Causes Bad Breath?
Occasional bad breath is normal, but when it becomes persistent, it may be linked to:
- Gum disease or infection
- Dry mouth (xerostomia)
- Bacteria buildup on the tongue or in deep pockets
- Tooth decay
- Poorly fitting dental restorations
- Digestive issues or sinus problems
Because halitosis can have several contributing factors, a proper diagnosis is essential to successful treatment.
How We Treat Bad Breath at Its Source
Dr. Yassamy begins with a comprehensive oral evaluation to identify any dental or systemic issues contributing to halitosis. Treatment may include:
- Deep cleaning or periodontal therapy if gum disease is present
- Targeted cleaning of the tongue and soft tissues
- Improved home care guidance tailored to your needs
- Saliva-boosting solutions for dry mouth
- Assessment of dental restorations that may harbor bacteria
- Collaboration with medical providers if a non-dental cause is suspected
We also check for signs of TMJ dysfunction or mouth breathing — both of which may worsen dry mouth and odor.

Is bad breath always caused by poor hygiene?
Not at all. While hygiene plays a role, many cases are linked to gum disease, dry mouth, or even non-dental causes like sinus issues or medication side effects.
Will I need a special cleaning?
Possibly. If gum disease or deep bacterial buildup is found, we may recommend a more thorough cleaning or periodontal therapy.
Can dry mouth cause bad breath?
Yes. Saliva helps wash away odor-causing bacteria. Conditions or medications that reduce saliva can lead to chronic halitosis.
Is bad breath treatment covered by insurance?
If your condition is related to gum disease or decay, portions of your treatment may be covered. Learn more about financing options.
Will the treatment be noticeable or uncomfortable?
No. All treatment is gentle and discreet. Our priority is to make you feel comfortable and supported — not self-conscious.
