BAD BREATH
Get fresh breath confidence.
Bad breath is a very common problem and there are many different causes.
Persistent bad breath is usually caused by the smelly gases released by the bacteria that coat your teeth and gums. Strong food such as garlic, onions, some spices and coffee can add to the problem.
It can also be caused by medical problems such as dry mouth, some medicines, breathing through the mouth rather than the nose, infections of the throat, nose or lungs, sinusitis, bronchitis, diabetes and liver or kidney problems. If we find your mouth is healthy, we may recommend a referral to your GP for further investigations.
Our Milton Keynes dental hygienists will be able to provide any treatments necessary to ensure your gums are healthy. They can also provide you with advice and information about products that can help with bad breath.

DENTAL HYGIENE FAQs
Hygiene Visits
What does a dental hygienist do?
A dental hygienist helps prevent gum disease and tooth decay by professionally cleaning your teeth and providing tailored advice on oral hygiene.
How often should I see the hygienist?
Many people benefit from a hygiene visit every 6-12 months, while those with gum disease or higher risk factors may need to attend more frequently.
What happens during a hygiene appointment?
The hygienist assesses gum health, removes plaque and tartar, polishes the teeth and provides personalised oral hygiene advice.
Is a scale and polish painful?
Most people find it only mildly uncomfortable. Sensitive areas can be numbed, and treatment is adapted for comfort.
Are hygiene appointments available privately?
Yes. Private hygiene care may allow longer or more frequent appointments and additional treatments such as airflow polishing.
Gum Health & Daily Care
Why do my gums bleed when I brush?
Bleeding gums are commonly a sign of inflammation caused by plaque build-up and often improve with better cleaning and hygiene visits.
What is the difference between gingivitis and periodontitis?
Gingivitis is an early, reversible form of gum disease. Periodontitis is more advanced and affects the supporting bone.
Do I really need to clean between my teeth?
Yes. Interdental cleaning removes plaque that brushing alone cannot reach, helping reduce gum disease and decay risk.
Does smoking affect my gums and teeth?
Smoking is a major risk factor for gum disease, stains teeth and slows healing. Stopping smoking improves gum health outcomes.
Wider Hygiene Care
Can a hygienist whiten my teeth?
Hygienists can remove surface staining. Whitening gels must be prescribed by a dentist, though hygienists may assist.
Can a hygienist spot mouth cancer?
Hygienists are trained to look for signs of oral cancer and will refer concerns to your dentist for further assessment.
Do hygiene visits help protect dental implants?
Yes. Regular hygiene care helps maintain healthy gums around implants and reduces the risk of peri-implant disease.
