Bad Breath (Halitosis):

Halitosis, sometimes known as bad breath, can be embarrassing and cause social isolation. Poor dental hygiene, oral microorganisms, and underlying medical conditions are frequently the causes of bad breath. In-depth assessments are available at South Gate Dental Clinic to determine the root cause of foul breath. Customized treatments are also offered, which may involve expert cleanings, guidance on proper oral hygiene, and, if required, treatment for gum disease or other disorders.

Exostosis (Bony Growths):

Exostosis denotes non-cancerous bone protrusions along the mouth’s bones, typically found on the palate or near the jaw’s teeth. Though usually harmless, they might induce discomfort or hinder denture placement. Our proficient dental experts will evaluate your situation and suggest the optimal approach, be it observation or surgical extraction if they become problematic.

Mandibular Tori:

Mandibular tori represent benign bone developments, situated on the inner side of the lower jaw. Like exostosis, they often don’t necessitate treatment unless they impede oral functions or denture fitting. Our facility is prepared to assess and, if needed, surgically manage mandibular tori, prioritizing your oral comfort and health.

Scalloped Tongue:

A scalloped tongue, marked by rippled or dented edges, may indicate diverse issues such as temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, sleep apnea, or deficiencies in vitamins. Our clinic, South Gate Dental Clinic, conducts comprehensive evaluations to pinpoint the root cause of a scalloped tongue, offering tailored treatments to relieve symptoms and enhance oral well-being.

Tongue Tie (Ankyloglossia):

Tongue tie manifests when the tissue connecting the underside of the tongue to the floor of the mouth is abnormally short, restricting tongue mobility. This can hinder speech, eating, and oral hygiene. Our facility provides interventions to address tongue ties, enhancing functionality and enhancing the lives of those impacted.
