Most people should have their teeth examined and cleaned at least twice a year, though your dentist may recommend a different interval. Regular visits help detect cavities and gum problems early and keep your teeth and gums healthy.

Common causes include reduced saliva overnight, certain foods (such as garlic and onion), poor oral hygiene, gum disease, untreated cavities, dry mouth, tobacco, and some medical conditions. Persistent bad breath should be assessed by your dentist.

Brush at least twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, floss daily, gently clean your tongue, drink water regularly, avoid tobacco, and keep up regular check-ups. In most cases a dentist can treat the underlying cause of bad breath.

Brush at least twice a day, especially before bed, with a soft-bristled brush and fluoride toothpaste. Use small circular motions at the gumline across the outer, inner and biting surfaces. Floss daily to remove plaque between teeth.

Amalgam fillings have been used safely for over a century. Major health bodies, including the World Health Organization, regard them as safe and durable for most patients; the main reason to avoid them is an allergy to a component. Tooth-coloured composite, porcelain and gold alternatives are also available, and your dentist can advise which suits you.

Cosmetic treatments such as teeth whitening, composite bonding, porcelain veneers and crowns can restore or improve how your teeth look. The work can cover a single tooth or a full smile makeover. Your dentist will recommend options based on your teeth and goals.

Professional teeth whitening can lighten enamel that has stained with age, food, drink or smoking. Some deep stains (for example from certain childhood medications or fluorosis) may respond better to veneers or crowns. A dental assessment determines the best option for you.
