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 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.

It’s World Wellbeing Week, and we’d love to hear from you!

Looking after your wellbeing doesn’t have to mean making big changes. Sometimes it’s the simple things that make the biggest difference - a walk in the fresh air, spending time with family, exercising, reading a good book or enjoying a coffee with a friend.

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?

☀️ Staying cool during the heatwave ☀️

We’ve seen that some local schools are closing due to the extreme temperatures this week, but we’d like to reassure our patients that Evolve Dentistry remains open as usual.

Our practice is fully air-conditioned, providing a cool and comfortable environment for your appointment, and we always have plenty of chilled water available for patients and visitors.

If you have an appointment booked with us, please continue to attend as planned. If you’re travelling in the heat, we recommend allowing a little extra time for your journey and bringing a water bottle with you.

Thank you for your continued support, and please take care in the hot weather. 🌞💙

A smile says more than words ever could.

We’re delighted to share this patient’s smile transformation with Dr Richard Ford. Every treatment journey is unique, but the goal is always the same - helping our patients feel confident when they smile.

Seeing the happiness and confidence at the end of treatment is one of the most rewarding parts of what we do.

🚦 Heading to Evolve soon?

Please be aware that major roadworks connected to the new Portishead railway station are due to begin this month and may affect your journey to the practice.

From 22 June, Harbour Road will operate as a one-way system, with diversion routes in place, and from 25 June further bridge works will affect travel around Sheepway and Portbury.

We’ve shared the official diversion map below so you can plan ahead.

If you’re visiting us for an appointment, we recommend allowing a little extra time for your journey over the coming weeks.
