How often have you noticed that someone can be close to you, speaking to you, and you just want to avoid his breath because it’s faintly unpleasant at the least or foetid at worst?

But your breath is always fine isn’t it? No-one says anything so it must be OK. Heard that one before?

Especially in those over 35 to 40, the tendency to unpleasant odours can be due to bacterial action on specks of debris between your teeth and under gum level. So you just brush - right? Well, you can try, and you can spray deodorisers in your mouth and so on. But the odours will creep back.

So what can you do? Come to us. We will help you manage any breath problems, and we can give advice, even if it’s not of mouth-based origin.

95% of bad breath or halitosis is caused by bacterial action in the mouth. Complex chemical changes occur and smelly volatile sulphur compounds (VSCs) are produced.

TRY THIS: Lick the back of your wrist. Wait 30 seconds. Sniff gently. If there is a whiff of bad breath, it is revealed.

OR: Run some dental floss through a back tooth space. Remove carefully. Put under nose (yours preferably) and sniff.

It is no good just camouflaging with a nice minty spray, rinse or whatever. You must get to the real cause. And the cause is mouth bacteria plus trapped debris, even just tiny amounts.

Learn how to manage the problem efficiently with some help from us on a regular basis and some daily DIY. Easy prevention.

Bad breath may be due to food and tobacco use. More cases, though, are due to bacterial activity. Mouth sprays and medications only hide the cause.

We can help you cure or manage it. Easily.
