How can you alleviate bad breath symptoms?

Paula Palmer from Access Dental NZ Ltd

One of the most common causes of bad breath or Halitosis is due to the existence of bacteria in our mouth. Even if you brush and floss daily, food particles can remain in your mouth, promoting bacterial growth between teeth, around the gums and on the tongue. Brushing teeth and using anti-bacterial mouthwash will eliminate some of the bacteria and mask the odour for a short time but for halitosis, a more thorough approach is required to get the balance of bacteria right.

Talk to us about how advanced probiotics can be used to promote and maintain fresh breath - not temporarily mask it.

Say goodbye to tyre waste

Tyrewise

About 40% of the 6.5 million tyres Kiwis use every year are recycled, repurposed, or used as tyre-derived fuel. But the rest end up in landfills, stockpiled or dumped.

The good news is now there’s an easy solution to all that tyre waste. It’s called Tyrewise and is New Zealand’s first national tyre recycling scheme.

Tyrewise ensures that tyres in Aotearoa New Zealand are recycled or repurposed properly, saving millions from going to the landfill.
