love Fresh Breath

To keep your breath fresh you must get rid of any gum disease whilst keeping your mouth clean and fresh. If you do have bad breath, try keeping a diary of all the foods you eat and list any medicines you are taking. Take this diary to your dentist, who may be able to suggest ways to solve the problem.

Interdental cleaning

Brushing teeth and gums twice daily is extremely important in maintaining a healthy mouth. Without cleaning in-between your teeth you are only cleaning 60% of your tooth surface. Plaque bacteria and food debris gets trapped in between teeth and can stagnate and cause bad breath – our Dental Hygienist will show you how to clean in-between teeth effectively to prevent bad breath - as part of your hygiene session you will be shown a variety of cleaning aids and advised on which would work best on you. For example

floss
super floss
interdental brushes
flossettes

all of which can be purchased from our reception at the end of the session.

Bad breath could be caused by a tooth that has dental decay. Plaque bacteria and food debris can get trapped in a tooth cavity, stagnate and cause bad breath - book in with one of our Dentists to check for decay and plaque.

Chewing sugar-free gum helps your mouth produce saliva and stops it drying out. A dry mouth can lead to bad breath.

If you continue to suffer from bad breath visit your dental team to check that's it's not caused by a more serious underlying problem.

If the Dentist or Hygienist feel that the oral malodour arises from anywhere other than the mouth they will suggest seeing your GP.
