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

How Sedation Dentistry Can Help You Feel Relaxed

If dental appointments make you feel anxious or overwhelmed, you’re not alone. At Evolve Dentistry, we believe everyone deserves access to comfortable, stress-free dental care. That’s why we offer sedation dentistry in Portishead.

Sedation dentistry involves using medication to help you feel deeply relaxed during your treatment. While you’re still awake and able to respond, you’ll feel calm and often have little to no memory of the procedure afterwards.

Sedation can be an excellent option if:

- You experience severe dental anxiety
- You have a strong gag reflex
- You need a complex or lengthy treatment
- You’ve avoided the dentist for years due to fear

At Evolve Dentistry, our experienced team will carefully assess your needs and discuss the sedation options available to you. Your safety and comfort are always our top priorities, and we take the time to explain each step so you know exactly what to expect.

By choosing sedation dentistry in Portishead, you can finally receive the dental care you need without the fear or worry. Many of our patients tell us that after trying sedation, they no longer put off their appointments and feel much more confident about their oral health.

If you’ve been avoiding the dentist because of anxiety, we invite you to discover how gentle, compassionate care and sedation options can transform your experience. #sedation #sedationdentist #awardwinning #beyourbestself #Northsomerset #freeconsultation #multiawardwinning #patientsatisfaction #compositebonding #patientsfirst #newpatients #healthysmiles #naturalteeth #acceptingnewpatients #nailsea #portishead #clevedon #portisheadmarina #dentist #dentures
