Bad Breath (Halitosis) – More Common Than You Think 😬💨
We all experience bad breath from time to time — but persistent bad breath can be your body’s way of telling you something isn’t right.
Did you know?
Halitosis doesn’t always start in the mouth. It can also be linked to:
🦠 sinus infections
🤒 throat infections
😴 dry mouth
🩺 digestive or systemic conditions
What to look out for:
If bad breath comes with mouth sores, a lump in the throat, ongoing hoarseness, or ear pain, it may point to something more serious, and you should get it checked out by a professional.
Fresh breath isn’t just about confidence — it’s a sign of good health. If something feels off, we’re here to help.

Maxillofacial Surgeon vs Dentist — When Should You See Who?

🦷 See a Dentist When You Need:

• A routine check-up or cleaning
• Fillings, crowns, or whitening
• Help with cavities or sensitive teeth
• Preventive oral care
• Advice on brushing, flossing & gum health

Dentists keep your teeth healthy on the surface.



🛠️ See a Maxillofacial Surgeon When You Need:

• Impacted or surgical wisdom tooth removal
• Jaw pain, TMJ problems, or bite issues
• Treatment for facial injuries or fractures
• Removal of cysts, tumours, or oral growths
• Jaw reconstruction or corrective jaw surgery
• Dental implants placed surgically

Surgeons handle the complex, deeper, and surgical problems.

Why Having Both Matters

At our practice, you get complete care from two specialists working together:
• Dr E. Rabie – Maxillofacial & Oral Surgeon
• Dr R. van Vuuren – Dentist

One team. One practice. Full-mouth care.

Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery - What Do We Actually Do?

Most people only visit a maxillofacial surgeon when something is painful, complicated, or needs specialized care.
Here’s a simple look at what we help with:

🦷 1. Wisdom Teeth & Problem Teeth

If a tooth is stuck, painful, or too damaged to save — we remove it safely and gently.

🦷 2. Missing Teeth Solutions

Dental implants replace missing teeth with something strong, stable, and natural-looking

🦷 3. Jaw Pain & TMJ Problems

Chronic jaw pain, clicking, locking, or bite issues?
We diagnose and treat jaw joint and alignment problems.

🦷 4. Lumps, Bumps & Oral Lesions

Cysts, tumours, unusual growths or non-healing ulcers need surgical evaluation and sometimes biopsy.

🦷 5. Breathing & Sleep Issues

Severe sleep apnea can be improved with airway surgery

🦷 6. Facial Trauma

Accidents, fractures, broken jaws, or soft-tissue injuries, we repair and restore function and appearance.

🦷 7. Birth & Developmental Conditions

We treat conditions like cleft lip and palate and other jaw or facial growth abnormalities.

🦷 8. Denture Support Surgery

When dentures don’t fit well, we reshape or rebuild the bone, so they sit comfortably.

💬 In short:

We help restore comfort, function, and confidence — whether it’s teeth, jaws, or facial structures.
