The most wonderful time of the year for many is right around the corner! So, what better time to swot up on what can help to keep your breath fresh this party season?
First and foremost, because you’ve still got one million presents to wrap, relatives arriving any minute and the cat has pulled down the tree doesn’t mean your regular oral hygiene routine has to fall by the wayside. Brushing your teeth twice a day using a fluoride toothpaste is a must. Together with regular interdental cleaning, dutiful cleaning will help keep stale breath at bay.
Another way to keep your breath smelling sweet is to be careful what you consume. Breath friendly foods include fresh fruits, vegetables and herbs (think fennel as well as mint). There was a reason Santa put that orange in your stocking after all! Some foods, like apples, carrots, celery and parsley are natural breath fresheners too. Eating these can also help remove food that may get stuck between your teeth (spinach in your teeth is never a good look!).
And while the mulled wine and classic snowballs may look alluring, remember to keep up your water intake. Alcohol is a diuretic, which means it increases urine production, leading to dehydration. This can result in reduced saliva production, creating a dry mouth. Saliva plays a crucial role in maintaining oral health by washing away food particles, neutralising acid, and preventing bacterial growth. Without enough saliva, the risk of developing tooth decay, gum disease, and bad breath increases. Eek.
On top of that, when you drink that enticing glass of Champagne it undergoes a process called oxidation within the body. This process converts alcohol into acetic acid, which contributes to bad breath too. Additionally, some festive favourites, such as wine and spirits, have a high ethanol content, which can make the problem worse.
Staying hydrated helps keep your mouth moist, preventing the growth of odour-causing bacteria. Drinking or rinsing with water can also reduce ‘morning breath’ after a heavy night on the tiles… And if you live in a part of the country that has fluoridated water, you’re also helping to strengthen your teeth’s enamel!
Not to be a party pooper, but alcohol is high in sugar and acidic properties too, contributing to tooth erosion. Sad to say, a bottle of wine can contain anywhere between 0g and 59g of free sugars per bottle. Given the government guidelines recommend no more than 30g of free sugars per day for an adult, this means it’s possible to reach almost this entire amount of sugar by drinking two medium-sized glasses of wine. Continuous exposure to acid weakens the enamel, making teeth more susceptible to cavities and decay. Now that’s a Christmas present you don’t want!
While it’s a little po-faced to suggest “moderation in all things” this festive season, it’s better to remember the words of the ancient Greek philosopher Epicurus: “Be moderate in order to taste the joys of life in abundance”.
Wishing you all a very merry Christmas!

Considering facial aesthetics but not sure where to start?
At Evolve, every treatment begins with a consultation - because understanding you is what matters most.
Yasmin will take time to discuss:
• your goals
• your concerns
• whether treatment is the right option for you
For some patients, treatment is appropriate.
For others, it may be something for the future - or not needed at all.
Our approach is always honest, supportive and centred around helping you make the right decision for you.
If you’d like to explore your options, we’re here to help.

Why do gums bleed when you brush?
If you’ve noticed your gums bleeding when brushing your teeth, you’re not alone - and it’s usually a sign your gums are inflamed.
In many cases this happens when plaque builds up along the gum line. The gums become irritated and more fragile, which means they can bleed more easily when brushing.
The good news is that with consistent oral hygiene - brushing thoroughly twice a day and cleaning between your teeth - many people notice improvement within a couple of weeks.
However, if the bleeding continues, it’s worth having it checked. Regular bleeding can sometimes indicate gum disease, and an examination at the practice allows us to assess your gum health and give the right advice.
Swipe through to learn why gums bleed and what you can do to improve gum health.
