What is my dentist's role?

Go to the dentist regularly because the exam will help to identify any physical problems. Check also helps to get rid of plaque and bacteria that accumulate on your teeth. If you think you have bad breath, the dentist can help determine where it comes from. He or she may ask you to arrange a separate appointment to find the source of the smell. Or, if your dentist believes the problem is caused by a systemic (internal) source such as an infection, he or she may refer you to your GP or expert to help solve the problem.
