Professional care matters, and so do the habits and aids you use between visits.
Below is a plain-English summary of aids discussed in Suzanne’s notes for The Fresh Breath Centre.
1. Water
Water is essential for good oral health. It helps rinse away bacteria that contribute to bad breath and supports hydration, which affects saliva.
2. Interdental brushes (for example Piksters)
Interdental brushes are small, cone-shaped brushes used to clean between the teeth.
- They help remove plaque and food debris, which can reduce the risk of gum problems and bad breath.
- Sizes vary, so ask your hygienist which fit is right for you.
- They are also useful if you wear braces or other dental appliances.
3. Tongue brush
A tongue brush helps remove the coating on the back of the tongue. Use a gentle sweep to reduce white, yellow, or brown coating that can harbour bacteria and affect breath.
4. Active oxygen oral care (for example bluem)
Some oral care ranges use active oxygen technology and are positioned to support a healthier oral environment. Discuss with Suzanne whether a specific product suits your treatment plan.
