We still offer GBT Guided Biofilm Therapy
This is the removal of biofilm (the bacteria that lives on the tooth), whilst also removing plaque and some staining.
The purple disclosing liquid shows where the bacteria is, it is then removed with a machine that combines powder, warm water and jets of air to remove it.
Patient feedback is their teeth now feel more squeaky clean, and cleaner then a regular hygiene visit.

GBT appointments from £89, please call 01283217794 to hear more information.

Interesting dental fact:
What is a bad breath?
Temporary bad breath, like morning breath, can simply be due to a dry mouth or something you have eaten (i.e. garlic). True bad breath, known as ‘halitosis’, is an oral health problem that is actually quite common. The source of the bad smell is usually down to bacteria living in the mouth.

We understand that every smile is unique. Regular check-ups are an essential part of a good oral health routine and help to provide a preventative approach to dental issues; but at Burton on Trent - Hughes & Owen Dentalcare this is more than just a check-up.

Did you know that eating cheese can be good for your smile?

Hard cheeses have high levels of phosphate and calcium, which naturally strengthen teeth and bones. They can also help to balance the pH level in your mouth, which means less harmful acid and fewer cavities.

A healthy, balanced diet is just as important as an oral hygiene routine to help keep your smile healthy.

Whilst poor dental hygiene can be a cause of bad breath, there are other possible causes too including:

- Smoking
- Dry mouth
- Periodontal disease
- Sinus, mouth, or throat conditions
- Conditions such as diabetes or kidney disease

If you're concerned about bad breath, for further advice on how to keep your dental health in the best possible condition speak to your dentist.

From oral hygiene experts to the parenting experts, together we can help to ensure good oral hygiene for all.

Ensuring that your children have good oral hygiene from a young age will promote good habits for life. We understand this isn't always an easy task as a parent, so we have created this hub specifically for you and your children 👉 http://www.hughesandowendentalcare.co.uk/childrens-hygiene-hub

Regular visits to your dentist put you in the best position for detecting any oral health problems before they become symptomatic or require treatment.
