What is bad breath (halitosis)?
Bad breath is coined in the dental terminology as halitosis, is one of the top three reasons for a visit to Keele Major Mac dental centre. Tooth decay and periodontal disease are common causes of bad breath. (That’s how important fresh breath is!!!). In about 90% of cases, bad breath originates in the mouth itself and differs by degrees during the day. The remaining 10% of bad breath cases, the origin is from outside of the mouth.
Diet such as fish, garlic, meat, cheese and onions, smoking and alcohol, and even hunger (a prolonged empty stomach) are common culprits. These culprits are easily solved with a good teeth brushing, flossing and rinsing regimen. Bad breath may also indicate gum disease or diabetic symptoms.
How can I obtain a fresh breath?
– Brush your teeth and your tongue regularly, twice daily, early in the morning and before bed at night
– Floss regularly, twice daily, early in the morning and just before bed at night
– Rinse regularly, twice daily, early in the morning and just before bed at night
– Drink water regularly, about 2L a day for an average weight adult
– Check your sinuses with your medical doctors
– Chew chewing gum to increase saliva and rinse away bacteria
– Visit your dentist at least twice a year, or more if needed, customized to your own dental needs.
What should I do to manage chronic bad breath?
At Keele Major Mac Dental Centre, for chronic bad breath, we recommend you to
visit our dental centre
for a thorough assessment of the true cause. Whether the issue is environmental, oral health-related, or indicative of a larger medical condition,
Dr. Jacqueline Ha and her associates can help with early detection, appropriate treatment, and professional referral when needed.
My family and I have been coming here for years. The staff are wonderful & the atmosphere is always warm and welcoming.I am terrified of needles and pain, and had an implant procedure today which I have been putting off for years due to the fear! Dr. Ha & her team went the extra mile to make sure I had a pleasant experience despite my fears. She put on relaxing music to help me calm down & stay relaxed during the entire procedure and constantly made sure I was doing okay.
I highly recommend Dr. Ha if you are looking for a new dental professional to take care of your teeth & make you smile.

I had very crooked teeth and went to few dentists to ask about options to straighten my teeth. My aunt told me to come here and I came to check out. The receptionist was very nice, helpful, and knowledgeable. She helps me feel at ease because I am scared of the dentists. To my surprise, Dr. Ha is a very fun and friendly dentist. She spent lots of time and explained in details what I need to do to take care of my teeth during the time I wear braces. I was so scared when I had to remove my four teeth in order to resolve my crooked teeth. Dr. Ha did it so fast, no pain and I was very comfortable with her. Dr. Ha also placed braces on my teeth and now I have beautiful straight teeth, done earlier than I expected and I am so thankful that she is my dentist.
I strongly recommend all the clients I meet at my work place to see her for any dental treatment they need. Dr. Ha is truly a five star dentist with her exceptional skills, profound depth of knowledge and a great sense of humour. I highly recommend her. 😉😉😉

This dental centre has longer operating hours then most clinics in Vaughan which accommodate to my availabilities. The dentist and their associate are very nice and knowledgeable in their work of specialty. The staff at the dental centre are very professional and welcoming. They take on new clients and they have appointments after 6 p.m on weekdays.
I recommend all families and neighbours to give this dental centre a chance to work on your teeth if you live in this area of Vaughan.
