Tips to Fight bad breath

Tweets
Could bad breath be a warning
sign of a medical condition
Persistent bad breath or a bad taste in your
mouth may be warning signs of gum
(periodontal) disease. Gum disease is caused by
the buildup of plaque on teeth. The bacteria
cause toxins to form in the mouth, which irritate
the gums. If gum disease continues untreated, it
can damage the gums and jawbone.
Other dental causes of bad breath include poorly
fitting dental appliances, yeast infections of the
mouth, and dental caries.

Our Dental Services

The medical condition dry mouth (also called

xerostomia) can also cause bad breath. Saliva is
necessary to moisten and cleanse the mouth by
neutralizing acids produced by plaque and
washing away dead cells that accumulate on the
tongue, gums, and cheeks. If not removed, these
cells decompose and can cause bad breath. Dry
mouth may be caused by the side effects of
various medications, salivary gland problems, or
continuous breathing through the mouth.
Many other diseases and illnesses may cause
bad breath. Here are some to be aware of:
respiratory tract infections such as pneumonia or
bronchitis, chronic sinus infections, postnasal
drip, diabetes, chronic acid reflux, and liver or
kidney problems.

Practice good oral hygiene. Brush twice a day

with fluoride toothpaste to remove food debris
and plaque. Brush your teeth after you eat
(keep a toothbrush at work or school to brush
after lunch). Don't forget to brush your tongue,
too. Replace your toothbrush every 2 to 3
months. Use floss or an interdental cleaner to
remove food particles and plaque between
your teeth once a day. Dentures should be
removed at night and cleaned thoroughly
before being placed in your mouth the next
morning.

See your dentist regularly - at least twice a

year. He or she will conduct an oral
examination and professional teeth cleaning
and will be able detect and treat periodontal
disease, dry mouth, or other problems that
may be the cause of bad mouth odour.

Stop smoking/chewing tobacco-based

products. Ask your dentist for tips on kicking
the habit.
Drink lots of water. This will keep your mouth
moist. Chewing gum (preferably sugarless) or
sucking on candy (preferably sugarless) also
stimulates the production of saliva, which helps
wash away food particles and bacteria.
Keep a log of the foods you eat. If you think
the foods that you eat may be causing your
bad breath, record what you eat. Bring the log
to your dentist to review. Similarly, make a list
of the medications you take. Some
medications may play a role in creating mouth
odours.

Additionally, while everyone has a

right to basic oral healthcare and a
straight, healthy smile, not everyone has
the financial means to obtain their desired
smile through comprehensive orthodontic
treatment and cosmetic procedures.

SHORT-TERM ORTHODONTICS
SOCIAL SIX SMILE
Adults comprise a large part of the
population in need of orthodontic treatment
to correct misalignment.
However, the extended time frame and the
embarrassing, unattractive look of metal
braces many times keep patients from
choosing orthodontics to enhance their
smiles. Some orthodontic techniques that
are more appealing to patients than braces
(such as aligners) are not as predictable as
expected, and lack of patient compliance
may impede their success whereas other
techniques for smile enhancement might
include non-orthodontic solutions like
cosmetic dentistry which can involve the
grinding of vital tooth material and should
be considered invasive.
Short-Term Orthodontics
Short-term orthodontics is breaking down
barriers between patients who could benefit
from braces and the treatment itself.
Unlike most traditional braces treatments,
short-term orthodontics generates an
aesthetically pleasing smile within 6 months
for most patients.

Short-term orthodontics is therefore also

more patient-friendly from a financial
perspective, since it provides individuals
who are financially challenged with the
opportunity to have the smile they have
always desired. Short-term orthodontics
emphasizes moving teeth efficiently into
the appropriate position to affect a
cosmetic change, rather than addressing
every imperfection.
In general, the upper front six teeth
aligned in an arc with the right proportions
will constitute a radiant smile. This is
called as the Social Six.
Social Six Smiles can be achieved by
wearing a full upper appliance from the
outside of the teeth using metal or
ceramic brackets or by placing 6 lingual
brackets from the inside of the teeth.
Although there is a stigma associated
with metal braces, undergoing
orthodontics indicates to the public that
the person is upwardly mobile and is
making an effort to straighten his or her
teeth, and that raises ones perceived
position within society.
For more details on short term braces
consult our Specialist Orthodontist.

Are home bleaching kits safe

Teeth whitening kits mostly contain
hydrogen peroxide. The se kits need to
be used cautiously since Chances are
youll just end up with some severe side
effects, such as sensitive teeth if used
excessively and unsupervised.
Get a professional cleaning and mouth
exam, even if you decide to whiten teeth
at home using over-the-counter strips or
gels. It could be that all you need is a
thorough cleaning to restore your
teeth's sparkling good looks.
The exam also finds cavities. Getting
your cavities treated first is crucial to
keep teeth
whitening safe. Your dentist will check
the health of your gums. If they are
inflamed, its wise to postpone the
whitening.

Ask your dentist for advice about

which over-the-counter system to use.
Ask the dentist how much lightening
you might expect. Teeth do darken
with age, and the range of color varies
from person to person.
While bleaching strips maybe relatively
safe we do s not, however,
recommend any at-home kits that
include mouth guards you fill with
bleach and leave on. Since theyre not
customfitted to your mouth, the product is
likely to come in contact with your
gums, instead of just your teeth, and
will cause irritation, she says.
Whitening toothpastes often contain
harsh abrasives that will wear away
your tooth enamel.
Once its gone, tooth enamel doesnt
come back. Remove enough of it and
youll start seeing the layer of dentin
underneath, which will make teeth
appear yellower.
Supervised teeth whitening in a dental
office along with customized home
bleaching kits are highly recommended
for the dazzling smile u aspire. Speak
to ur dentist before u buy he OTC
products.

Children with a healthy mouths have

a better chance of general health.
Oral conditions can interfere with
eating and adequate nutritional
intake, speaking, self-esteem, and
daily activities. Severe decay can
affect growth and development.
Children with dental pain may be
unable to concentrate in school. A
healthy mouth is more attractive,
giving children confidence in their
appearance. Finally, preventive
dentistry can result in less extensive
and less expensive treatment for
your child.
Prevention starts at home, with good
eating habits and daily cleaning of
the teeth. Daily cleaning of the teeth
should begin as soon as the first
tooth erupts. Visit your pediatric
dentist at the eruption of the first
tooth or no later than 12 months of
age to establish a dental home.

Early dental visits are the

foundation for a lifetime of good
oral health. The earlier the dental
visit, the better the chance of
preventing dental disease and
helping your child build a cavityfree smile.
After completing a thorough oral
examination and assessing your
childs risk for developing cavities,
your dentist will design a
personalized preventive program of
home care for your child. This
program will include brushing and
flossing instructions, diet counseling
and, if necessary, fluoride
recommendations. By following
these directions, you can help give
your child a lifetime of healthy
habits.
Tooth cleaning and polishing and
fluoride treatments are all part of
your childs prevention program.
However, there is much more. For
example, dentist can apply sealants
to protect your child from tooth
decay, help you select a
mouthguard to prevent sports
injuries to the face and teeth, and
provide early diagnosis and care of
orthodontic problems. Your dentist
is uniquely trained to develop a
combination of office and home
preventive care to insure your child
a happy smile.

Plaque and tartar that form on the

teeth near the gums are the most
common causes for gum disease.
Dentists recommend getting a
procedure called "teeth scaling"
done. If you want to know more
about what this involves, read on
what TOOTHSMITHS have to say
about it.
How often should scaling be done?
Teeth scaling is recommended once
in six months. The frequency might
differ based on the level of oral
hygiene maintained and also on type
of saliva. As a person grows older,
the saliva gets thicker: it contains
less water. In such case, tartar
(grey, brown and yellow hard
deposits near the gums) forms on
the lower ends of the front teeth
which are the most sensitive. Tartar
also forms if you don't eat from a
particular side. Other factors that
affect the formation of tartar more

often include pregnancy or certain

drugs. If there is any reason for
tartar to form faster, scaling must
be done.
Does scaling have any side
effects?
Usually there are no side effects,
but patients may experience
sensitivity to hot and cold food or
drinks for few days.
Does scaling have any effect on
the enamel?
Harsh cleaning will affect the
enamel of the teeth. Otherwise,
there are absolutely no effects on
the enamel, as scaling involves
only ultrasonic vibrations that are
used to loosen and remove tartar,
stains, calculus, etc. followed by
polishing.
