A beautiful smile is based upon healthy teeth and gums and indeed it would be unwise to spend money on expensive treatments if underlying gum diseases is not first dealt with by our hygiene team.

Our hygienists also take time to ensure that you are fully instructed in the care of your own mouth by teaching you an effective daily cleaning routine.

There are many patients who are blessed with a naturally beautiful mouth. These fortunate people require nothing more than a regular visit to the hygienist to ensure a beautiful and healthy smile for life.

Bad Breath

Bad breath or halitosis can be a curse. But we now know that ninety percent of bad breath is caused by problems in the teeth and by gum disease. It is the bacteria that live on teeth, the gums and the tongue producing sulphur compounds that cause bad breath. This means that by restoring the mouth to perfect health and cleanliness and with proper instruction about regular mouth hygiene, most cases of halitosis can be completely cured.

Any residual traces of contamination can be removed by the use of our specialised range of toothpastes and mouthwashes.

Bad breath can be caused by wearing removable dentures, by faulty fillings and by crowded teeth. In fact any area in the mouth that is difficult to reach and therefore does not get properly cleaned will be harbouring halitosis causing organisms. By treating these conditions appropriately we almost always succeed in solving the problem.
