Chronic Bad Breath Treatment | Bad Breath Center of America

Bad Breath Center of America

Finally Fix Chronic Bad Breath at the Source

Advanced testing and targeted treatment for bad breath that keeps coming back.

If This Sounds Familiar

You think about your breath before you talk, keep space between you and others, and rely on gum, mints, or mouthwash to get through the day. It has started to affect your confidence in conversations, your comfort in close interactions, and your relationships with others.

The Cause Has Not Been Identified

Chronic bad breath is often not a hygiene issue. It is caused by bacteria that live deep in the tongue and throat, in areas that brushing, flossing, and mouthwash cannot reach. These bacteria produce sulfur gases that create persistent odor. Without identifying and measuring the exact source, the problem continues no matter how often you brush or what products you use.

Why Typical Solutions Fail

Mints, Mouthwash, and Brushing Are Not Enough

These measures only mask the problem. To eliminate bad breath, you have to identify the bacteria responsible for the smell and eliminate them

Source-Based Treatment

Temporary Management

How We Identify and Treat the Cause

Our 4-Visit Treatment Process

Treatment follows a structured process designed to identify the source and eliminate it completely.

Visit 1:

Comprehensive Diagnostic Exam

We use an advanced gas chromatograph to measure the gases that are responsible for causing bad breath and identify the bacteria producing them. This allows us to determine exactly what is causing the odor.

Visit 2-4:

Targeted Treatment

We eliminate the bacteria using specialized instruments and laser treatment that reach areas brushing, flossing, and mouthwash cannot. Each visit is focused and purposeful, with a clear goal of resolving the problem rather than managing it.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. At the McCawley Center, I have undergone a series of dental procedures, including laser periodontics, tooth extraction, bone grafting, and teeth cleaning. In one week, I will be undergoing implant surgery. These procedures were undertaken due to my unwavering trust and confidence in the expertise of Drs. Tom and Mark McCawley. Their exceptional and highly professional support staff further enhances my positive experience. I am delighted to recommend this facility to individuals seeking comprehensive dental care.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My spouse is a patient of the Mccawleys and has received the LNAP procedure. His experience has been nothing short of exceptional. I have had the same experience having to have the LNAP procedure as well as having teeth pulled and implant surgery. The office staff is amazing. Welcoming, caring and knowledgeable. I highly recommend Mccawley and their team for the services they provide.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My mother and I have been coming to the McCawley Center in Fort Lauderdale for years, and I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about this practice. Dr. Mark McCawley did an extraordinary job with my mother. Her gum problems were significant, and what he accomplished for her was remarkable. We are truly grateful. He gives me that same level of attention and care every time I come in. I've also had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Tom McCawley, he's always incredibly kind, attentive, and generous with excellent advice. From the front desk to the hygienists and the doctors, the entire team is outstanding. These are truly the best hygienists I've ever had— gentle, thorough, and caring. We always leave feeling genuinely cared for, respected, and happy. A heartfelt thank you to Dr. Mark, Dr. Tom, and the entire team for everything you do. We feel very fortunate to be in your care, and highly recommend this wonderful practice.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am not a fan or the dentist but had  a wonderful experience with Dr Tom McCawley and his staff. With a serious dental procedure to face , LANAP, they made it seemless, painless and DOABLE!  Instructions were provided andDr McCawley personally called before the procedure to ensure my comfort level. The day of the procedure was easy and medication was provided to manage post surgical pain. They even sent flowers! Everyone was kind and helpful. 0% Financing also available. Thank you so much to all at McCawley dentistry!

I had the LANAP procedure 2 days ago. I was not looking forward to it, but today I can tell you it was so easy. I have no pain and so impressed with how gentle Dr. Mark is. It went smoothly, I was sleepy for most of the procedure and went home, relaxed a bit and caught up with some paperwork. I appreciate the expertise his assistant Adriana displayed, she was very communicative, gentle and a joy to have by my side in surgery. This office is the best! And look what McCawley & Team sent me-such a nice gesture!

FAQ

Questions About Chronic Bad Breath Treatment

What makes your bad breath treatment different from other approaches?

Most treatments focus on masking odor temporarily. At the Bad Breath Center of America, we use advanced testing to identify the specific gases and bacteria responsible, then target them directly with specialized instruments and laser treatment.

What if I have tried everything and nothing has worked?

Many of our patients have already tried mouthwash, tongue scrapers, cleanings, probiotics and multiple dental visits before coming to our office. Persistent bad breath often continues when the actual source has never been properly identified and treated.

Why do patients travel to your office for treatment?

The Bad Breath Center of America uses specialized patented instruments and advanced testing methods that are not commonly available in traditional dental offices. Patients seek treatment here because of our focused approach to chronic bad breath.

Will I know what is causing my bad breath after the first visit?

The comprehensive diagnostic exam is designed to identify the source of the odor and determine the bacteria and gases involved. After testing, you will receive clear treatment recommendations based on your specific results.
