Your healthy mouth has to cleanse away dead gum cells every 3 days.

Normal supermarket mouth rinse contains  alcohol as a mild antiseptic.

Any bacteria that are not killed,  will just build resistance.

The alcohol dries out the gums and mucosa.

It doesn’t dissolve hard scale build-up.

A dry mouth with gingivitis will shed 20 million dead cells a day that stay in your mouth

Dead cells are eaten by bacteria that live in the hard scale buildup.

Smelly gases are released by dead cells that coat the gums and tongue,

and bacteria that  live in and under the hard scale .

So alcohol based mouthrinse does not make your breath fresh or remove hard scale build up.
Knowing you have fresh breath does wonders for your self-confidence and relationships.

The opposite is true for people with bad breath. Bad breath can be a real turn –off.

Being able to hug and kiss your loved ones is a basic human pleasure.

Fortunately, the problem can be easily solved by a simple oral health routine

are here for you, everyday with one simple message.

” The most important thing is to regularly have your teeth de-scaled professionally.

Most of the smelly bacteria live in and under this hard debris that you cannot remove with a toothbrush at home. Normal brushing and flossing will ONLY remove the soft plaque .”

Brad and Theresa advise…

“Please, please, please, come and ask us for a better mouth rinse!

 Please use a water based, alkaline, oxygenating mouth rinse.

The germs that cause bad breath love acids and hate oxygen.

We will happily give you 6 months supply of fantastic  oxygenating alkalizer mouth rinse that makes supermarket Listerine-style mouth rinses look like a bad cover up room deodourizer.

Kiss the worry of bad breath “Goodbye!”

We are here for You.  Our Time is Your Time,   Our Place is Your Place .  Keep Smiling*

That’s the advice of the British Dental Health Foundation, after research revealed nearly a quarter of the population are concerned about potential bad breath.

With Valentine’s Day approaching, the cost of not having good oral health could have implications for your love life.
Survey data captured by the Foundation showed one in five people avoided smiling due to missing teeth, while more than a third (37 per cent) of people cited stained or yellow teeth as a reason to avoid smiling. More than half of respondents (56 per cent) said the most important physical attribute when it comes to attraction is smile or teeth, fresh breath and clean teeth on Valentine’s Day could make or break the relationship.

Bad breath can be a real passion killer. It is a common problem many people face, and is usually caused by the smelly gases released by bacteria that coat the teeth and tongue. Fortunately, the problem can be easily solved by a simple oral health routine.

Knowing you have fresh breath does wonders for your self-confidence and relationships.
The opposite is true for people with bad breath, and being able to hug and kiss your loved ones is a basic human pleasure.
You owe it to yourself to put your “Best Kiss” forward.

Dr David Stephenson offers some advice on the best way to beat bad breath. “Although some medical problems may be the cause of bad breath (sinusitis, bronchitis, diabetes, gastric reflus, liver or kidney problems) bad breath is most often caused by a lack of good oral hygiene.”

Normal brushing and flossing will remove the soft plaque so your gums are healthy and pink. Bits of plaque and food in between your teeth
will rot at body temperature within 12 hours.
Drink plenty of water because a good saliva flow is essential to remove dead cells from the gums cheeks and tongue.
If you need to freshen your breath up, carry some sugar-free gum, as chewing will stimulate saliva and help prevent your mouth from drying out.
If you’re going out on a date, think carefully about what you’re eating and drinking. Most people are offended by bad breath from too much booze, smoking and strong garlic/onions.
Smokers can buy nicotine tablets or gum that have no smell. use them when you are on that date or evening out and enjoy fresher breath afterwards.
We go above and beyond for our patients.
Floss, then Brush and Brush, and then Rinse, Rinse, Rinse!

Book a de-scale, professional clean and polish in February and we will make you “Smile*” with a complimentary 6 month bottle of OxyFresh alkalizer mouth rinse.

Kiss that bad breath “Goodbye!”

It’s no different with your teeth.

Now, we know that you look after your teeth and brush them every day.
You might even use floss and good mouth rinse but if you have teeth you have them professionally descaled and polished every 6 – 9 months.

Unlike hair, this isn’t just to make them look good.

Scale removal and polishing is essential to remove germs and toxins that cause gum disease, bone loss and general ill health.
To prevent bleeding, receding gums, loose teeth and bad breath, you need more than brushing and flossing.

Oral health maintenance requires regular professional preventive care not just what you do at home.

Oral health is the starting point for general good health and wellbeing. It starts with your mouth – what you put in it and how you look after it.

If we do our job well, and you do your part at home, you will have healthy gums, healthy, solid, good-looking teeth and then… all we have do it HEALTH MAINTENANCE, NOT DENTISTRY!

Because unlike most things in today’s world, good dentistry lasts a long time and oral health is easy and inexpensive.

We know that you are motivated to maintain your health and you value your teeth but we notice that you haven’t had your teeth professionally cleaned for a while. So we will offer you a $50 service voucher as an incentive.

So PLEASE call us on 3264 5698 to ask for your $50 service voucher and Jodie our receptionist will be happy to help you.

To understand ” why” he had sleep apnoea and possibly how to correct it, he read, researched and visited ENT specialists and some other health professionals to better understand the anatomy of breathing and the sleep cycle. He learnt about tongue position and dentists who could design oral device to assist with sleep apnoea.

We educated him about the problems of poor jawjoint alignment and his chronic habit of oral breathing. We demonstrated the effect that oral and nasal breathing have on oxygenation using a capnometer monitor that measures expired carbon dioxide. We advised him to research Buteyko breathing, a programme that addresses the dysfunctional effects of mouth breathing.

We fitted him with a comfortable custom designed oral device that provided -
1 correct alignment of the jawjoints
2 tongue forward and down away from the soft palate and out of the throat
3 reduced neural feedback to the upper neck and brainstem to minimise muscle activity arousals affecting sleep pattern
4 support for the genioglossus muscles under the chin that tense the lower airway and help hold it open
5 allow lip together mouth closed nasal breathing to address oxygenation

We also advised him to avoid sleeping on his back. He subsequently purchased a lateral sleep pillow from www.u-sleepwell.com.au
This man also bought a medical grade oximeter so he could test his own sleep for oxygen saturation and sleep cycles. He was able to confirm with hard data that he was now getting 20% REM and 20% slow wave deep sleep from a normal night of 6-7 hours.

He has generously confirmed that anyone who wishes to contact him to ask questions is more than welcome.
Just email us and we will pass your enquiry on direct to this patient
