Too much tea and coffee consumption causes external coloration on the tooth surfaces. This causes people to clean their teeth more frequently or to prefer abrasive toothpastes themselves. This situation causes mineral loss in tooth enamel in a long time.

What is good for tooth sensitivity?
There are many reasons for tooth sensitivity seen when consuming hot, cold or sweet foods and beverages. To relieve sensitivity, teeth should be brushed correctly twice a day, regular dental floss and a soft toothbrush should be used. If tooth sensitivity continues after a few weeks, a dentist should be consulted.

What is it?​

Bad breath is usually caused by bacteria in the mouth and is not usually a sign of general ill health.

Gum disease can cause bad breath. But you could still have bad breath with good oral hygiene, and healthy teeth and gums. The smell then usually comes from the far back of the tongue. It gets stronger when you talk, as your mouth gets drier.

Most adults occasionally suffer from bad breath, perhaps a quarter have it regularly. If you are worried about bad breath, please talk to your dentist, your dentist will:

Work out whether you really have a bad breath problem, and

Find out what sort of problem it is and help you deal with it.

What can my dentist do?

Make sure, before you see your dentist, that you have not done anything to hide the normal smell of your breath. Do not smoke, chew gum or use a mouth rinse, and avoid any sort of perfume; do not clean your teeth immediately before your appointment.

Your dentist might use a plastic spoon to gently scrape the back of your tongue and test the smell. There are also instruments that measure Sulphur compounds in the mouth or swelling around the gums.

Good oral hygiene will usually be the answer to a bad breath problem. A scale and polish from your dentist or hygienist makes it easier for you to keep your mouth clean at home.

What can I do myself?

Brush your teeth thoroughly twice a day with fluoride toothpaste

Use floss or oral hygiene aids if your dentist or hygienist recommends them. You can check bad breath by smelling the floss after you have used it. If there is a smell from a particular part of the mouth, clean that area with special care.

Gently brush your tongue if it is heavily coated. Special plastic tongue scrapers can be bought from chemists.

A mouth will smell less if it is moist. Chewing sugar free gum can help with bad breath by increasing the flow of saliva. You might have a dry mouth because you breathe with your mouth open or because you are taking certain medicines.

If you smoke try to give up. As well as making your breath smell better, giving up smoking will keep your mouth and gums healthy, and benefit your general health.

Why should you make a hygiene appointment?

Proper dental hygiene is essential for a healthy mouth and general wellbeing. Did you know that plaque needs to be removed from the mouth consistently twice a year? If left uncleansed for more than six months it begins to harden into tartar, which eats into the tooth enamel and infects the gums.
