by | Sep 14, 2025 | Family Dentists in Hoppers Crossing

 

Get to the Root of Persistent Bad Breath
Everyone experiences bad breath occasionally, but when it becomes a constant concern, it could signal a more serious issue. At Sayers Dental, we help patients identify the causes of halitosis and offer effective treatments for long-lasting freshness and confidence.

What Causes Bad Breath?

Chronic bad breath is often the result of:

  • Inadequate brushing or flossing

     

  • Bacteria on the tongue

     

  • Gum disease or oral infections

     

  • Dry mouth due to medication or dehydration

     

  • Smoking or alcohol use

     

  • Poorly fitting dentures or appliances

     

  • Medical conditions (e.g., diabetes, sinus issues)

     

Tips to Keep Your Breath Fresh

  • Brush and floss thoroughly every day

     

  • Clean your tongue using a scraper or soft brush

     

  • Drink water regularly to avoid dry mouth

     

  • Replace your toothbrush every 3–4 months

     

  • Visit your dentist every 6 months for a professional cleaning

We provide a range of personalised options to address both symptoms and causes:

  • Deep dental cleaning for plaque and tartar removal

     

  • Periodontal treatment for gum disease

     

  • Tongue cleaning advice and tools
