Huge thank you to Lucinda! She is fantastically patient and kind. During our visit today she was brilliant with my 12 year old and explained all the equipment and what she was doing. My daughter said on the way home that it made a massive difference to her as she felt more relaxed and less afraid – a huge improvement on our previous dentist! Thank you!

Some patients report persistent bad breath, often caused by underlying health issues like sinusitis, bronchitis, diabetes or nose, throat and lung infections.

Some foods, like garlic, onion and coffee, can also cause or exacerbate bad breath. Other than food, things like tooth decay, infections or even gum disease can cause bad breath, so you should always call us if you think there’s a problem with your breath.

Bad breath can also be a symptom of poor dental hygiene. Miss out on regular brushing and flossing, and bacteria will soon collect in the spaces between the teeth causing unpleasant odours.

With proper daily care and hygiene, you can prevent plaque build-ups that cause bad breath. You can also keep your breath fresher by avoiding sugary foods and drinks.
