August 6 is National Fresh Breath Day. If you have chronic bad breath, isn’t it time you addressed it? If a dental issue is causing your halitosis, avoiding smelly food won’t help. Neither will breath mints.
Watch this short American Dental Association video to learn about some causes of bad breath. It also includes some suggestions for preventing it. If this advice doesn’t help, call Priest River Dental at 208-328-4484 to schedule an appointment in Priest River, ID.
Dry mouth, gum disease, and dental decay are among the issues that can cause bad breath. If that’s the case, we can certainly help! A deep cleaning can eliminate gum disease. A cavity can be repaired with a filling or crown. Special products and/or lifestyle changes can take care of dry mouth.
You can maintain your fresh breath with daily brushing and flossing and visits to our office every six months for a professional cleaning.

I have been going to this office for several years now.
Pros- I have always been treated extremely well and I consider their dental care second to none. I think it’s kind of unusual to find, in such a small northern Idaho town, a very modern and efficient dental practice.
Cons- it’s a dentist office.
Result – I heartily recommend these folks. 5 stars, and 5 thumbs up too!
Priest River Dental is the best dental office I have ever experienced. Dr. McKinney and his entire staff are very friendly and caring. As much as we all don’t want to go to the dentist, I look forward to seeing everyone. Dr. McKinney is an awesome dentist. He is very gentle and makes sure you are comfortable during procedures. He takes the necessary time to show you and explain everything. I can’t imagine going to another dentist.
I am a relatively new client at this dental office in Priest River, and I have had a really great experience with the entire staff.
I had a little bit of a dental emergency and they were able to get me treated right away. It really helped me out in a situation that could’ve been much much worse. Throughout the rest of that process they were constantly checking in with me making sure everything was going OK and we were able to resolve the problem over the course of a few months.
They were very caring and tentative, and everyone at the office had a great demeanor.
Today was one of the best dental visits i’ve ever had.
Work was prepping for a crown on one of my teeth.
Everyone in the office was so accommodating.
They have a new device called Isolyte for extracting saliva during procedures
It was amazing- I’ve always had issues with gagging. This unit is the answer to that.
Thanks to all of you at the office today, you made my experience very pleasant

I am so excited to express my opinion on the new dentist in town! WOW, I’m so impressed with how I was anticipating a painful shot for a filling when, I didn’t even feel the shot at all to numb my mouth for my filling and then the procedure was fast and quick with flawless precision!
I’m happy to say we’ve got the best dentist around!
