No one enjoys bad breath, but instead of masking it, why not treat it at its source at Pacific Woods Dental? If persistent bad breath (also known as halitosis) has you avoiding close conversations or feeling self-conscious, our dentist in Raleigh Hills has the solution. Halitosis may be common, but it’s also something you don’t have to live with any longer.
Scaling and root planing (SRP) is one of the most effective treatments for halitosis caused by gum disease or bacterial buildup. This deep cleaning procedure removes the underlying culprits behind bad breath.

While gum and mints can offer temporary relief, they don’t address the root causes of bad breath. Think of them as a quick fix, not a full solution. If you’re relying on these regularly, it could be time to look into targeted treatment options like SRP.
Oil pulling, rinsing with baking soda, or chewing herbs can sound like great fixes, but some remedies may not only fail to fix your bad breath but also cause harm or irritate your gums. It’s always safest to check with our Southwest Portland dentist.
The key is addressing underlying causes—improving oral hygiene, treating gum disease, or managing dry mouth. Professional scaling and root planing can also give your breath a fresh start.
We use a local anesthetic to numb the area. Post-treatment, mild tenderness is normal but typically goes away within a few days. If you’re concerned, we’re happy to discuss pain management options before your visit.
