At Fresh Breath Center NYC, we bring together leading specialists in periodontics, functional dentistry, and integrative medicine to treat the root cause of bad breath and oral health issues. Led by renowned periodontist and naturopath Dr. Scott H. Froum, our expert team takes a science-backed, whole-body approach to diagnosing and treating halitosis, gum disease, and complex oral conditions.
Unlike traditional dentistry, we don’t just focus on the mouth—we consider how gut health, immune function, and systemic imbalances contribute to oral health problems. Our goal is to provide personalized, minimally invasive treatments that deliver lasting results and improved overall well-being.
Dr. Scott H. Froum is a board-certified periodontist and the founder of Fresh Breath Center NYC, specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of chronic bad breath, gum disease, and complex oral health issues. With a background in both clinical periodontics, naturopathic medicine, and functional dentistry, he provides minimally invasive, science-backed treatments to restore oral health and confidence.
Dr. Froum is dedicated to finding the root cause of halitosis rather than masking symptoms. He combines advanced periodontal treatments, digestive solutions and holistic oral care to create long-term solutions for his patients.
Outside of his practice, he enjoys traveling, spending time with family, and even swimming with sharks.
Dr. Gianna Pico, DMD, is a general dentist practicing in New York and New Jersey. She received her BS from Boston College, MS in oral health sciences from Boston University, and DMD from Boston University Henry M. Goldman School of Dental Medicine, graduating with honors. She continued her dental training back in her home state of New York at Interfaith Medical Center where she completed a general practice residency. Dr. Pico is motivated to provide customized and patient-centric care with a true emphasis on the oral-systemic connection.
As a functional dentist at the Fresh Breath Center in New York City, Dr. Pico approaches oral health through the lens of whole-body wellness, recognizing the mouth as a critical gateway to overall health. Her practice is founded on understanding the oral-systemic connection—how oral conditions both reflect and influence broader health patterns throughout the body. Rather than simply addressing symptoms, she identifies root causes and develops personalized treatment plans that resolve immediate dental concerns while contributing to improved overall wellness. To further enhance her expertise in this integrative approach, Dr. Pico is currently pursuing advanced training at the Institute of Functional Medicine, with certification expected in 2026.
Dr. Nathan Estrin received his Bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology from Indiana University followed by completing his D.M.D. degree at LECOM school of Dental Medicine in Florida. Dr. Estrin further specialized in Periodontology at Stony Brook University, New York, where he not only enjoyed his 3-year residency program (specialized in implants and periodontal therapy) but also developed a passion for research and contributing to the field.
During his residency training, he published numerous articles related to implant dentistry, peri-implantitis and has contributed key research articles and book chapters related to the use of lasers in periodontology/implant dentistry.
Today, Dr Estrin is a board-certified periodontist working in private practice in Sarasota, Florida, yet maintains a strong interest in continuing his research and teaching endeavors despite being a full-time clinician. His current research focuses on the exciting topics of extended platelet-rich fibrin and exosomes in which he contributed to several articles in the journal Periodontology 2000. Today Dr. Estrin remains as an adjunct faculty at LECOM School of Dental Medicine, University of Iowa, and as a lead educator for PRFedu where he enjoys helping offices learn key features to more recent technologies.
