At Parker & Pennington Dentistry, we believe that each patient deserves teeth that are fully functional. Patients who have experienced tooth loss or deal with recurring decay often struggle with their daily lives. It can be difficult to eat, and food choices are often limited. We encourage patients to replace their missing teeth or damaged teeth as soon as possible. We work with our patients to create a treatment plan that will not only restore their oral health, but will last for years. When meeting with our patients, we look at many factors when recommending a treatment plan.

Does My Breath Smell? Reasons You May Frequently Need A Breath Mint

General Dentistry, Parker & Pennington Dentistry, Patient Information

Do you find yourself constantly reaching for mint gum or a breath mint because you are concerned about how your breath smells? Or do you find yourself moving away from others when you speak because of your breath? We all experience bad breath from time to time, especially after eating and drinking certain foods. For many of us, the odor disappears as soon as we brush our teeth. Others experience frequent issues with bad breath, which is an indication of a problem with their oral health.
