How do I get rid of bad breath?

How do I get rid of bad breath?

There are a number of ways that you can help reduce or prevent bad breath:

  1. Brush your teeth after you eat
  2. Floss or use interdental brushes at least once a day
  3. Ensure you brush your tongue daily
  4. Regularly clean dentures or dental appliances
  5. Drink water throughout the day
  6. Replace your toothbrush every 3 months
  7. Have regular Health Mouth Reviews
  8. Visit your Hygienist regularly

What causes smelly breath even after brushing?

Mouth infections are a common cause for bad breath, however, if your dentist has carried out a full examination and ruled this out, your bad breath could be due to other issues, such as a sinus condition, gastric reflux, diabetes, liver or kidney disease.

Does bad breath go away naturally?

You can usually improve bad breath by improving your dental hygiene routine. By brushing for at least 2 minutes twice a day and flossing / using interdental brushes, your breath should improve. If it doesn’t, then speak to your dentist at your next appointment.

How can I tell if my breath is bad?

If you don’t want to ask a friend or relative about your breath, you could try licking your wrist and then blowing on it. You should then be able to tell what your breath smells like.

How can I have a nice breath?

There are a few simple things you can do to help ensure your breath remains fresh, including:

  • Brush your teeth and gums at least twice a day
  • Gently clean your tongue regularly with a tongue scraper or cleaner
  • Use interdental brushes or floss daily
  • Visit your dentist regularly for a check-up
  • Keep your dentures and dental appliances regularly

You walk through the door feeling a little nervous…

You’re greeted with a smile.

Someone offers you a cup of tea.

You settle in, knowing you’re not just another appointment.

You have a conversation with a dentist who listens, explains everything clearly and helps you feel at ease.

Because at Evolve Dentistry, we believe great dentistry starts long before any treatment begins.

It’s about feeling welcomed, cared for and confident that you’re in the right place.

✨ Every smile has a story.

For this patient, treatment was about more than improving their teeth - it was about feeling confident enough to smile without hesitation.

It’s moments like these that remind us why we love what we do. Watching someone see their new smile for the first time never gets old.

If you’ve been thinking about making a change but aren’t sure where to start, we’re always happy to have a conversation about your options.

Worried that teeth straightening might hurt?

It’s one of the most common questions we get from patients considering aligner treatment.

The good news is that most patients don’t describe teeth straightening as painful. You may notice a feeling of pressure when you move to a new aligner, but this is usually mild, temporary and simply a sign that your teeth are moving as planned.

Many patients are surprised by how quickly they adapt and find that treatment fits comfortably into their daily routine.

Every smile is different, but our team will guide you through every step of your treatment journey and make sure you know exactly what to expect.

Thinking about straightening your teeth but still have questions? We’re always happy to help.
