Halitosis—the medical term for chronic bad breath—affects approximately 25% of people globally. Unlike occasional morning breath or the temporary effects of consuming garlic or onions, true halitosis persists despite regular brushing and flossing.
Many patients who visit our Nairobi clinic have tried numerous over-the-counter solutions without success.This is because halitosis often stems from underlying issues that require professional diagnosis and targeted treatment.
Common Causes of Persistent Bad Breath
"What distinguishes halitosis from temporary bad breath is its persistence despite conventional oral hygiene measures. This signals the need for professional intervention."
— Dr. Pauline Lead Orthodontist, The Periodontist Nairobi
Why Common Remedies Fail: The Hidden Causes of Chronic Bad Breath
Many of our patients at The Periodontist have spent years cycling through mouthwashes, special toothpastes,and breath mints—often with only temporary relief. This is because most commercial products merely mask odours rather than addressing the underlying causes of halitosis.
Types of Bad Breath Smells and What They Indicate
When you visit The Periodontist in Nairobi, we don't just recommend another brand of mouthwash. We conduct a comprehensive assessment to identify the specific cause of your halitosis,allowing for targeted, effective treatment.

Our 3D imaging system maps every detail of your gums and oral tissues, revealing hidden periodontal pockets where bacteria thrive beyond the reach of normal brushing.

When necessary, we conduct microbiological testing in partnership with Nairobi's leading medical laboratory to identify specific bacterial strains contributing to your halitosis.
