Most patients complaining of bad breath first go to a dentist. If the problem isn&#039;t gum disease or cavities, the next address is definitely an ENT specialist. The biggest culprit for bad breath originating from ENT is... <b data-path-to-node=\"6,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"382\">\u201c&quot;These are tonsil stones (caseoma).&quot;\u201d<\/b>. Food particles and bacteria that accumulate in the cavities (crypts) on the tonsils eventually turn into cheesy, white\/yellow stones with an incredibly foul odor. Chronic sinusitis, which causes constant postnasal drip, and stomach acid reflux (silent reflux) also create a perfect breeding ground for this odor. Our goal in treatment is not to mask the odor with mint gum, but to permanently eliminate the source (stones, inflammation, or acid) that produces this smell.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-65492f0 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"65492f0\" data-element_type=\"container\"

shame, guilt, and social isolation experienced by my patients who come to me with bad breath. As Dr. Nurten K\u00fc\u00e7\u00fck, my first priority is to relieve my patient of this psychological burden; because it&#039;s not your fault or an indication of dirtiness, it&#039;s entirely an anatomical or metabolic problem. To find a solution, I perform a detailed olfactory mapping using a camera (endoscope), starting from the inside of the nose and going all the way to the vocal cords. If the problem is stones in the tonsil pockets, I flatten these pockets with laser\/radiofrequency (cryptolysis), or if the odor is very persistent, I completely remove the tonsils to eradicate the problem at its root. Seeing my patient wake up from that nightmare they&#039;ve endured for years, and experience that confident moment when they can speak to people without hesitation, even whispering, is one of the most rewarding aspects of our profession.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-038bf60 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"038bf60\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4a591ce e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"4a591ce\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c35cf01 elementor-view-default elementor-position-block-start elementor-mobile-position-block-start elementor-widget elementor-widget-icon-box\" data-id=\"c35cf01\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"icon-box.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon-box-wrapper\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon-box-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t<span  class=\"elementor-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t<svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-search\" viewbox=\"0 0 512 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M505 442.7L405.3 343c-4.5-4.5-10.6-7-17-7H372c27.6-35.3 44-79.7 44-128C416 93.1 322.9 0 208 0S0 93.1 0 208s93.1 208 208 208c48.3 0 92.7-16.4 128-44v16.3c0 6.4 2.5 12.5 7 17l99.7 99.7c9.4 9.4 24.6 9.4 33.9 0l28.3-28.3c9.4-9.4 9.4-24.6.1-34zM208 336c-70.7 0-128-57.2-128-128 0-70.7 57.2-128 128-128 70.7 0 128 57.2 128 128 0 70.7-57.2 128-128 128z\"><\/path><\/svg>\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon-box-content\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-icon-box-title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span  >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tEndoscopic Olfactory Mapping\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"elementor-icon-box-description\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tTo locate the source of the odor, the inside of the nose (sinusitis\/adenoids), the throat (tonsil stones), and the larynx (reflux irritation) are painlessly examined in detail using a camera.\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4c88b5e e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"4c88b5e\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-65fb8b5 elementor-view-default elementor-position-block-start elementor-mobile-position-block-start elementor-widget elementor-widget-icon-box\" data-id=\"65fb8b5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"icon-box.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon-box-wrapper\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon-box-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t<span  class=\"elementor-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t<svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-shield-virus\" viewbox=\"0 0 512 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M224,192a16,16,0,1,0,16,16A16,16,0,0,0,224,192ZM466.5,83.68l-192-80A57.4,57.4,0,0,0,256.05,0a57.4,57.4,0,0,0-18.46,3.67l-192,80A47.93,47.93,0,0,0,16,128C16,326.5,130.5,463.72,237.5,508.32a48.09,48.09,0,0,0,36.91,0C360.09,472.61,496,349.3,496,128A48,48,0,0,0,466.5,83.68ZM384,256H371.88c-28.51,0-42.79,34.47-22.63,54.63l8.58,8.57a16,16,0,1,1-22.63,22.63l-8.57-8.58C306.47,313.09,272,327.37,272,355.88V368a16,16,0,0,1-32,0V355.88c0-28.51-34.47-42.79-54.63-22.63l-8.57,8.58a16,16,0,0,1-22.63-22.63l8.58-8.57c20.16-20.16,5.88-54.63-22.63-54.63H128a16,16,0,0,1,0-32h12.12c28.51,0,42.79-34.47,22.63-54.63l-8.58-8.57a16,16,0,0,1,22.63-22.63l8.57,8.58c20.16,20.16,54.63,5.88,54.63-22.63V112a16,16,0,0,1,32,0v12.12c0,28.51,34.47,42.79,54.63,22.63l8.57-8.58a16,16,0,0,1,22.63,22.63l-8.58,8.57C329.09,189.53,343.37,224,371.88,224H384a16,16,0,0,1,0,32Zm-96,0a16,16,0,1,0,16,16A16,16,0,0,0,288,256Z\"><\/path><\/svg>\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon-box-content\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-icon-box-title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span  >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTonsil (Caseoma) Removal\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"elementor-icon-box-description\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tIf the source of the odor is tonsil stones, these stones are microscopically vacuumed away.
