Fresh Breath

Get fresh.

Bad breath, also known as halitosis, causes unpleasant odours and can be a huge source of embarrassment. This awkward problem can have a number of different causes including:

• Inadequate dental hygiene
• Smoking
• Consuming heavily flavoured foods such as garlic and coffee
• A medical condition, such as diabetes or a throat, nose or lung infection

Maintaining an effective oral hygiene routine, with regular brushing and flossing, can help prevent bad breath. It can also remove trapped food, which can lead to unpleasant smells. Reducing your intake of sugary foods and drinks will help prevent tooth decay and regular visits to the hygienist will minimise plaque deposits, which can contribute to bad breath.
