Many of us will, at some point or another, suffer from the affliction of bad breath. However, this problem is easy to solve by following a few simple steps. Always remember to brush and floss your teeth after eating, as any dentist will tell you. As bad breath is sometimes caused by bacteria on the tongue, it will be a good idea to brush your tongue as well.
As any dentist knows, certain beverages can contribute to bad breath as well as staining your smile, so it might be worth switching to water. Following these steps will leave you with fresh breath and a smile!
– Remember to brush and floss your teeth after eating to dispose of food debris.
– Bacteria on the back of the tongue can cause bad breath, so brush your tongue as well.
– Certain beverages can contribute to bad breath; drinking water is a way of avoiding this.
“If food remains on your teeth because you don’t brush and you don’t floss, that food just sits in your mouth and is degraded by bacteria and you can just IMAGINE the odour that gives off.”

Dr. Colin Conway BDS BSc South AfricaWith more than 20 years experience in dental practice, Colin has never been more excited and passionate about his dentistry!
Colin grew up in South Africa, and completed studies toward research science and dentistry degrees in South Africa. He moved from Cape Town to the UK in April 2002, and has worked in some of the UK’s leading dental practices - gaining the experience and confidence to offer a wide range of dental services.
Says Colin: "I often joke that I moved to the UK for the weather! But actually I moved because the UK offers world-class opportunities for dentists to expand their knowledge and skillset, a fact which I have embraced. I am equally comfortable doing a dental check-up and cleaning, placing a dental implant or fitting braces to straighten teeth."
Colin lives in Windsor with his partner and two dogs, enjoying the city/country balance offered by its close proximity to London. On weekends, you’re likely to find him cycling along the river or in some of the great parks surrounding the town.
