Course Outline

Halitosis, or oral malodor, is a relatively common complaint. Approximately 30% of the population complaints of this in some form. What should a dental professional know about bad breath, and what should the next steps be if it is a patient’s concern?

While generally felt to be a benign condition, halitosis can significantly affect a patient’s quality of life and self-esteem, and can cause significant distress. It may be caused by or associated with a host of diseases, including periodontal disease, infection, liver disease, kidney disease, diabetes and others. There is more than meets the eye with halitosis!

Periodontist Dr Melanie McAlpine and Oral Medicine Specialist Dr Amanda Phoon Nguyen have teamed up to talk about all things orally odorous, and will discuss what a dental professional should know in this interactive lecture on the causes of halitosis, pseudohalitosis, possible systemic contributors and further investigations required, and red flags. They will conclude by summarising their best management tips for this prevalent condition.
