Bad breath (Halitosis) is experienced by most people at some time.
-
It may simply be “morning breath” but can be a persistent chronic condition which affects a person’s everyday life and confidence.
-
It is almost always caused initially by a build up of excess bacteria in the mouth which gives off smelly gases often due to poor hygiene, badly fitting crowns or fillings and food trapping.
-
Halitosis can sometimes be caused by diet, dehydration and health problems, all of which we look at and addressduring your initial consultation.
-
Persistent problems with bad breath (Halitosis) are often associated with gum disease (also known as Gingivitis).
-
Gum disease may also lead to receding gums and also loss of teeth.

Our history
The Fresh Breath Dental Centre was established by Dr. Phil Stemmer in 1995. Over the years he successfully treated thousands of patients and became internationally renowned for his pioneering work on treating Halitosis.
You only have to Google his name to see press coverage and patient stories relating to how he has saved marriages and in some extreme cases helped people overcome depression brought on by the condition.
The treatments Dr Stemmer devised all those years ago have evolved and become even more successful in treating Halitosis.
What to expect
A fresh breath consultation consists of a comprehensive examination of teeth and all soft tissues in the mouth.
-
On your arrival your breath will be tested using a halimeter (a specialist piece of equipment to detect some of the gases which indicate whether you have bad breath or not) along with many other painless tests.
-
Carry out various tests for our assessment.
-
We also take a sample of bacteria which is analysed straight away under the microscope to help with the diagnosis.
Once the diagnosis has been completed, we'll provide advice on the best course of action and advise you on how to best prevent the halitosis (Bad Breath) from recurring ever again. Normally patients are treated 4 to 6 times over a 3 month period.
Following your treatment we will advise how frequently you will need follow-up maintenance appointments, which is roughly every 3 – 6 months.
Our team of professionals are totally committed to what they do and complete confidentiality is guaranteed at all times.
They are there to help and ensure that your experience leaves you feeling excited and confident about the prospect of having fresh breath for the rest of your life!
Halitosis isn’t necessarily the easiest topic to raise with a sufferer, so just think about this…if you’re afraid to tell a friend or colleague about their breath then perhaps you too suffer and people are afraid to tell you?
