Commonly
Asked Questions About
Halitosis
Treatment
Q:
How long does it take to treat, and once treated will my breath problem
return?
A:
It typically takes about 3 appointments to eliminate a person’s halitosis
condition.
At
the completion of treatment we will recommend a program that will prevent
the
reoccurrence
of your halitosis. If the program is followed your breath problem will
not
return.
Q: Will
my insurance cover any of the treatment?
A:
If you have dental insurance you will be able to get partial benefits for
the
treatment.
Because the treatment is so new, insurance companies have not yet
developed
the new insurance codes necessary for processing the treatments.
Q: Do
you prescribe antibiotics for the treatment?
A:
No. Antibiotics are not able to effectively reach the specific bacteria
that cause
halitosis.
In some instances we do utilize specialized antibacterial rinses in
conjunction
with our treatment.
Q: What
is the success rate for the treatment?
A:
We’re proud to say that we have a 99% success rate.
Q:
What happens if it is determined that my problem is of a medical origin.
A:
In the rare instance that this occurs we will refer you to the appropriate
physician.
Q: Does
the procedure hurt in any way, or are needles involved?
A:
There is absolutely no discomfort involved in any treatment we provide.
It is a
noninvasive
procedure that requires no anesthesia or injections of any kind.
Q: Can
any of the treatment you perform for the treatment of a breath problem
causea person any harm?
A:
No. In no way can our treatment cause any harm or complications with a
patient. It
is
a noninvasive treatment and the worse thing possible that can happen is
for the
procedure
to be unsuccessful.
Q: Once
treated, will my breath problem return?
A:
At the completion of your treatment we will develop an individualized maintenance
regimen
for you which will prevent the reoccurrence of your old halitosis condition.
