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

🪥 Do your gums bleed when you brush your teeth?

Many people think a little bleeding is normal, but it’s often your gums’ way of telling you that something isn’t quite right.

In this video, Dr Richard Ford explains some of the most common reasons gums bleed and what you can do to improve your gum health at home.

The good news is that, in many cases, bleeding gums can be improved with the right oral hygiene routine and professional support.

Watch the video to learn more and let us know if you’ve got a dental question you’d like us to answer next.

🦷 Dental myth or dental fact? 🤔

One of the most common myths we hear is that teeth whitening is bad for your teeth.

In this video, Maggie explains why professionally prescribed teeth whitening is a safe and effective way to brighten your smile when carried out under the guidance of a dental professional.

Unfortunately, misinformation can stop people from exploring treatments that could help them feel more confident about their smile. That’s why we’re passionate about sharing trusted advice and helping patients make informed decisions about their oral health.

🥤 Are sugary drinks really bad for your teeth?

It’s a question we hear all the time.

In this video, our Therapist Flora explains how sugary drinks can affect your teeth and why it’s not just the amount of sugar that matters, but how often you’re having it throughout the day.

The good news? You don’t have to give up all your favourite drinks. A few simple changes can make a big difference to your oral health.

Watch Flora’s advice and let us know if there’s a dental question you’d like us to answer next.

At Evolve, we’re incredibly proud of our team - not just for the care they provide to our patients, but for the difference they make beyond the practice too. 💜

On 30 July, our wonderful dental nurse, Kayse, and her brother will be taking on an incredible challenge by completing a charity skydive in support of Alzheimer’s Research UK.

They’re stepping well outside their comfort zones to raise money for a cause that means so much. Alzheimer’s and dementia affect millions of families, taking away precious memories and changing lives forever. By supporting Alzheimer’s Research UK, they’re helping to fund vital research into better treatments and, one day, a cure.

Their fundraising target is £650, and every donation, no matter how big or small, will make a real difference.

If you’d like to support Kayse and her brother, you can donate here:

Good luck with the jump Kayse - we know you’ll be amazing! ✈️💜

“How long will it take?” 🤔

It’s one of the first questions we hear from patients considering teeth straightening - and the honest answer is that every smile is different.

Some patients achieve their desired results in as little as six months, while more complex cases may take longer. The good news is that modern orthodontic treatment is carefully planned from the start, so you’ll have a clear idea of what to expect before treatment begins.

At Evolve Dentistry, we’ll assess your smile, discuss your goals and create a personalised treatment plan tailored to you.

Whether you’re looking to correct crowding, close gaps or improve the overall appearance of your smile, the journey may be shorter than you think.

At Evolve, we know that looking after your wellbeing is an important part of living a happy, healthy life.

So, here’s our question:

💙 What is your favourite way to look after your wellbeing?
