Bad Breath Treatment
Mints and mouthwash only hide bad breath for an hour. We find what's really causing it, then treat the cause so you can stop masking it.
Is any of this you?
- You carry mints everywhere.
- You need another one by lunch.
- You cannot smell it yourself.
- You keep your distance when talking.
None of this fixes itself.
A mint treats the smell

How we treat bad breath
Four steps. No surprises.
- Step 1 Find the cause
We check your gums, look for hidden decay or a leaking filling, and check your tongue and dryness, to find where the smell is really coming from.
- Step 2 A professional clean
Where it's gum-related, we clear the build-up below the gumline that a toothbrush and mouthwash can't reach, and treat the gums.
- Step 3 Fix any decay
If a cavity or an old leaking filling is trapping bacteria, we fix the tooth so food and bacteria can't sit and ferment.
- Step 4 Simple advice that lasts
We give you practical, plain-English tips that suit your mouth, and set a check-up rhythm that helps keep the cause from coming back.
What our patients say
They really prioritise communication, and will debrief with you after each consult, showing you photos and x-rays and explaining everything comprehensively.
Kyle was the first dentist who took me seriously.
I am a confirmed dentist phobe and can I say, this is the best experience I have had.
For the first time in forever I was not offered braces, implants or anything else.

Bad breath questions
Why doesn't mouthwash fix my bad breath?
Because mouthwash covers the smell, it doesn't remove the cause. The most common cause is bacteria below the gumline, and a brush or rinse can't reach there. Once we find and treat the actual source, you often don't have to keep masking it.
How do I know if my breath is bad? I can't smell it.
That's completely normal. You go nose-blind to your own breath within seconds, which is why you can never quite tell. That's also why people over-rely on mints. A check-up gives you a straight answer and helps find what's behind it.
Is bad breath always caused by my teeth or gums?
Most of the time the cause is in the mouth: gums, a hidden cavity, a coated tongue or a dry mouth. Occasionally it comes from outside the mouth. If we think that's the case for you, we'll tell you plainly and guide you to the right person.
What will the appointment involve?
We start with a check-up to find the cause. From there it's usually a professional clean and gum treatment where it's gum-related, fixing any decay or leaking fillings, plus simple advice for your mouth. We'll explain it in plain words before anything starts.
Does my health fund cover it?
We claim most major health funds on the spot, including nib, HCF, Westfund and Latrobe, so you usually only pay the gap. We'll let you know where you stand before you go ahead.
