In almost all cases bad breath (halitosis) comes from debris within and the tissues of the mouth. It is very rare for it to be a sign of any other illness.
To combat bad breath we would recommend:-

1. Excellent oral hygiene.
   
   • A Braun/Oral B electric toothbrush.
   • Interdental cleaning with glide dental tape and/or tepe brushes.
   • Use of a tongue scraper
   • Corsodyl daily or Dentyl mouthrinse.
2. Regular visits to the hygienist
3. Keep yourself properly hydrated

We have two caring and experienced hygienists who will help show you ways of improving the health of your gums through good homecare and good professional care. This combination is essential in fighting the effects of gum disease and we advise all our clients to visit their hygienist regularly. Most people need to see their hygienist every 6 months but some will need 3 monthly appointments. We will advise you.
The hygienists will gently clean the areas of your mouth that you have been unable to get to. This will leave your mouth feeling fresh and clean. They may suggest that medicaments are placed into areas of infection possibly combined with oral antibiotics if appropriate.

Hygienist appointments from only £

Many clients who visited the hygienist also purchased:-

• An electric toothbrush
• Glide dental tape
• Tepe brushes
• Mouthrinse

Available for both adults and children.  Custom made to fit your mouth accurately and therefore working properly to protect your teeth and soft tissues from injury whilst playing sport. Most schools insist that pupils wear mouth guards for hockey, rugby, boxing etc. We would wholeheartedly agree with this and urge parents to purchase our custom fitted mouthguards rather than the cheaper ‘boil& bite’ type which are often ill fitting and useless, and can be dangerous.

Our mouthguards come in a variety of colours and designs which you can mix & match yourself.

If teeth have been lost, dentures are a means of restoring your smile and your bite. The design is bespoke to your own individual requirements. Your dentist and the laboratory technician who makes your denture will advise on suitable designs for your mouth.

Dentures may be acrylic based or metal based, they may have one tooth, a few teeth or replace all your teeth. You will be able to choose the shade of your teeth and will see your dentures before they are finished to make sure you are happy with the smile they produce.

Dental X-Rays  show us areas of your mouth and teeth that we cannot get to examine otherwise. They allow us to assess the health of your teeth, gums and bone. The modern X-Ray machines that we operate expose you to an absolute minimum of radiation – to the extent that no lead aprons are not necessary to protect you during exposure. There are a number of different X-ray views taken for different purposes. Your dentist will advise you if it is appropriate for X-Rays to be taken

• All our X-Ray machines are monitored by the Health Protection Agency
• All staff wear X-Ray monitoring badges
• All staff operating X-ray machines regularly attend Health & Safety Radiation  Update courses

It is important to let your dentist check your mouth regularly. Regular examinations enable us to keep your whole mouth healthy and pain free. This will give you complete peace of mind. Many problems do not cause pain initially and you may be unaware of their presence. Your Dentist can identify these problem areas early and rectify this with minimal treatment and much reduced costs. If any problems are identified at your examination you will always be provided with a printed estimate of the costs involved at the end of your examination.

Our regular examination always includes:-

• Examination of soft issues around the mouth and neck
• Examination of Jaw Joints and function
• Examination of intra-oral soft tissues
• Mouth Cancer scan
• Examination of all tooth surfaces
• Examination of gum health including BPE assessment of gum disease
• Oral hygiene advice where appropriate

A custom made appliance produced in a specialist dental laboratory from accurate impressions that we take. It is worn at night and acts by holding the lower jaw forward and keeping the throat open and thus reducing or eliminating snoring.

Actual quote from a partner of a client for whom we made an anti-snoring device;
‘That was the best days work you have ever done!’
The client said ‘It was brilliant – it worked straight away!’

More teeth are lost through gum disease than decay.

All adults suffer from gum disease but some people are more prone than others. At Dental World we will measure the extent of gum disease in your mouth each time we examine you. These results are recorded and used to determine the most appropriate treatment and to focus your treatment to where it is most needed.

Recent scientific research has established a firm link between gum disease and other serious general health issues that you should be aware of.

• Heart Disease
• Strokes
• Diabetes
• Infertility in men
• Low birth weight babies in pregnant women

Keeping your gums healthy may help keep you healthier.

Gum disease is the major cause of Bad Breath (Halitosis)

This becomes necessary when the ‘pulp’ (sometimes referred to as the ‘nerve’ in the tooth) dies. It becomes septic and infected and results in a dental abscess. An abscess is often, although not always, painful. It is often associated with swelling of the surrounding tissues and in extreme cases, can be life threatening.

Root canal treatment removes the infection whilst saving your tooth. It is a challenging procedure technically for your dentist, but we make you relaxed and comfortable throughout the procedure and indeed many of our client’s fall asleep whilst we do all the hard work! We know this because they often snore!

• Preserves your tooth – no extraction necessary
• Removes your pain and discomfort
• Lowers your costs – replacing a tooth is more expensive than saving it!

*All clients are advised to have a crown over a root filled tooth. This covers and protects the tooth and prevents it from breaking.
