Everyone struggles with bad breath on occasion, but chronic bad breath (aka. halitosis) is a symptom of an underlying condition. This may be an oral health condition, a digestive issue, or a side effect of a serious medical condition. To rule out oral health, schedule an appointment with Taylor Made Dental in Taylor.
If it’s been more than 6 months since your last teeth cleaning, your bad breath may be due to an overgrowth of plaque and tartar. This overgrowth can cause inflammation in your gums. Over time, this inflammation can create pockets between your teeth and gums. These pockets trap odor and bacteria-causing plaque, tarter, and food particles.
A meticulous teeth cleaning may be all you need, but there may be another oral or medical condition that needs to be addressed. Our dental team will perform a thorough dental checkup to determine your treatment options.

Halitosis Dentist in Taylor
It’s embarrassing when a loved one lets you know that your bad breath extends beyond morning breath. Mouthwash, gum, and breath mints mask your breath, but they’re only a temporary solution. Let’s identify the root cause to permanently resolve your chronic halitosis.
Everyone struggles with halitosis on occassion, but if your breath has a frequent odd odor or taste—it’s a symptom of something else. Bad breath is almost inevitable after eating spicy foods, garlic, or onions. When you sleep with your mouth open, you’ll wake with morning breath. If you aren’t sure why your breath smells, it’s time to visit the dentist.
Maintaining your pleasant breath is one of many reasons to have your teeth cleaned every 6 months. Dr. Remy Ajluni will perform a thorough dental examination to determine why your breath doesn’t smell its best. The fastest and easiest resolution is meticulously removing plaque and tartar buildup, but that may not be the root cause.
Halitosis may be a symptom of gingivitis, periodontal disease, or dry mouth caused by sleep apnea. If you’ve developed an oral condition, Dr. Remy Ajluni will create a personalized treatment plan. This plan will address your breath, and treat and manage any other damage to your teeth or gums.
What Your Bad Breath is Trying to Tell You?
Below are just a few of the oral health and medical conditions that could be causing the unpleasant taste and odor in your mouth.
Periodontal/gum disease
Cavities
Food impaction
Acid reflux
Dry mouth
Dietary choices
Sleep apnea
Diabetes
Allergy medications
Prescription medications
A variety of illnesses
If you’re brushing and flossing daily, your breath should smell fresh most of the time!
Improved Oral Hygiene For Halitosis
Once the root cause of your halitosis is identified, our dentists will provide personalized tips for how to improve your oral hygiene. A few small changes can rapidly reverse the unpleasant aroma!
You might notice a sweet, sour, or unappealing aroma or taste in your mouth. However, you might not know that your breath doesn’t smell its best until a loved one points it out.
Even if you brush and floss twice daily, plaque and tartar will inevitably build up. The longer this bacteria-causing buildup goes unchecked, the more likely your breath will smell.
In addition to your breath, your risk for cavities and tooth decay increases.
I usually have horrible experiences with dentists, but I’ve been with Taylor made Dental for the last 8 years and they have been nothing but professional and very knowledgeable. They are always organized and on top of it all. The staff is amazing and kind. From the moment you step into that office until you walk out they make you feel like you’re in the right place. Explain every procedure before it’s done. They make you feel comfortable and confident about the outcome. They truly make it a great experience.
Everyone is always very nice and professional. They do very good work too. The office is very clean and inviting. I would recommend this dental office to family and friends.
I’ve been going to Taylor Made Dental since the end of 2024 and I can’t say enough great things about this practice. I am in the middle of getting my first implant and it has been a pain free experience! Didn’t expect that! The dentists are kind and friendly and the staff is wonderful.
just the most awesome place you could go to get your teeth fixed!!! Dr. Ali and every dentist and assistant there are the absolute best! I couldn't imagine a better place to get my teeth taken care of. So kind, friendly and caring, something that a lot of places cannot say. If I could give this review 10 stars star I would. You guys are the absolute best!
Amazing care. The only dentist office I will ever go to. Hygienist Lindsay is the best! Dr Ajluni and his staff provide excellent dental care with compassion and modern technology. The front staff are friendly, patient and understanding. Janice, Jen and Debbie are wonderful.
I feared the dentist because I had a couple really bad ones .I hadn't been to a dentist in a little over six years .But I'm extremely glad I came here they are amazing! And I don't fear the dentist anymore! Highly recommend 100%

Best dental office! Everyone is incredibly friendly, from the receptionist to the hygienists and doctors. I always feel comfortable and at ease during my visits.

I have been looking for a good dentist for months now I found Taylor made dental and they are amazing they made me feel welcomed and comfortable the best dentist I’ve ever been to.
I've been going to Taylor Made Dental for about 13 years! They do great work! They're professional and caring! I no longer live in the area but I only trust them with my teeth!
I recommend this place. My husband and son come here, too. They do a wonderful job. They explain everything that they are going to do to your teeth and done in a timely matter. I'm not a big fan about going to the dentist but this place makes me feel very comfortable.
I Had a great experience with my deep clean. Alyson did a wonderful job and was very gentle with my teeth. She was also very polite to me the entire visit. I would recommend Taylor made to friends or family.
Every time I’ve been here they have been nice and professional. When I went in to get a cavity filled and told them I was nervous they were very understanding and nice! Made me feel comfortable
My husband and I have been going to Taylor Made Dental for years! It is by far the best dental experience I have ever had! Dr. Remy, and Dr Mike are both amazing, and all of the staff is exceptional! Everyone is so welcoming, fun, friendly, and professional! I just finished up my Invisalign, and am extremely happy with the results!
Truly a pleasant experience. Glad I could find a dentist close to home that provides cheerful and excellent service (Alyson is a top tier hygienist, and just delightful) and a staff that seems to love what they do. Added bonus - had a very thorough cleaning and exactly zero discomfort afterwards.
Best dental office ever. I always have such a great experience and feel genuinely cared for every time I go in. The team makes you feel comfortable and at ease.<br>Erin did the best cleaning I’ve ever had, so thorough and gentle. Dr. Ali is always super helpful and amazing. I’ve never experienced any pain. Highly recommend.
Let’s just say I don’t like going to the dentist but I had to cause you know I want to keep my teeth. I was taken care of by a wonderful woman named Erin. Who just so happens to be one of the Registered dental hygienist. She made my visit as painless as possible even opting to use alternative tools to make my experience as painless as possible on top of making me feel comfortable being there. I will definitely be back for my next check up and if it’s allowed I would like Erin please.<br><br>Thank you Taylor Made Dental 😊
Always a pleasant experience...from the front office to the chair. (Even though it's a dental office, lol.) I followed Dr. Remy from a previous office. Excellent decision. Thanks to all.
Thought I would be there a lot longer than I was. Had my permanent bridge done, I was out in no time. I did not have any pain before or after. Staff is fantastic.
I have been a patient at the Taylor Location for a few years, this past year I have now brought my young children to be seen by the amazing staff here. I will always recommend Taylor Made Dental, they make you feel like you’re seen and heard.
Absolutely a great dentist office. Lindsey my hygienist was great along with Dr. Remy. I needed a root canal done & Lisa along with Dr. Ali fun & yet very professional. Great experience. Have been going here since 2019. Good group of people.
I called for a last minute appointment, bit of an emergency. They were able to get her in that day within 2 hours.<br>The staff was friendly and amazing as usual.
