Home Contacts Search Sitemap Contact: Pam Anton, ADHA (312) 440-8943 media@adha.net ADHA Fact Sheet Uncovering and Eliminating Bad Breath Almost everyone has bad breath, also known as halitosis, occasionally. It can occur when you wake up in the morning or after eating certain foods, e.g., onions and garlic. Once you uncover the source of the problem, there are several ways that you can keep your mouth free from unpleasant odors, according to the American Dental Hygienists' Association. Second, medical problems can cause fresh breath to go sour. For example, bad breath can be caused by a stomach disorder, a sinus infection with excess postnasal drip, or the way your body chemistry interacts with medications. Third, daily habits also play a role. For example, smoking or chewing tobacco can affect your breath. Most plaque can be removed with routine oral hygiene care; that is, by carefully brushing your teeth at least two or three times a day, flossing daily, and vigorously rinsing your mouth to remove food. To control plaque, add routine prophylaxes, more commonly known as cleanings, provided by a registered dental hygienist. Besides removing plaque from your teeth, the dental hygienist will remove calculus from above and below your gumline, take a medical and dental history, and examine the condition of your mouth, teeth and gums. The dental hygienist also will counsel you about plaque control and develop an at-home oral hygiene program designed specially for your personal oral health care needs.

Kitchen only Advanced Search Bad Breath In addition to regular brushing and flossing, certain natural strategies can help fight bad breath. Most importantly, a well-balanced diet can promote an efficient digestive system and reduce the number of odor-producing bacteria. Try replacing animal protein with an increased amount of high fiber foods. Fruits and vegetables are particularly beneficial because they are rich in fiber and contain a wealth of healthful enzymes that are thought to cleanse the breath. Chew on crunchy, raw fruit and veggies throughout the day; good choices include apples, pears, carrots, and sprigs of fresh parsley. A natural breath freshener, parsley is a rich source of chlorophyll, the chemical that makes plants green and is one of nature's most potent breath fresheners. Also regularly consume fermented foods, such as live-culture yogurt products, because they contain intestinal-friendly bacteria, including acidophilus (Lactobacillus acidophilus). Drink plenty of fluids; aim for at least eight glasses of water a day to keep the mouth moist. Be sure to call your dentist or doctor to see if gum disease or some other underlying disorder is the cause of bad breath. To enhance gum health, consume plenty of vitamin C acidophilus Found in fermented foods such as live-culture yogurt products, acidophilus (Lactobacillus acidophilus) may help restore the natural balance of friendly bacteria in the digestive tract. An imbalance of intestinal bacteria may contribute to bad breath.

Studies suggest compounds inhibit odor-causing bacteria By K.L. Capozza HealthScoutNews Reporter TUESDAY, May 20 (HealthScoutNews) If you're worried your bad breath will put a damper on a date, you might consider substituting tea for wine with that candlelight dinner. Two new studies suggest that regular tea drinking can stave off unsociable mouth odors. Both were presented May 20 at the American Society for Microbiology's annual meeting in Washington, D.C. Researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago found the popular beverage contains compounds, called polyphenols, which halt the growth of odor-causing bacteria. Bad breath is caused by malodorous volatile sulfur compounds produced by anaerobic bacteria that thrive in the back of the tongue and in the deep recesses of gums. Polyphenols appear to hit halitosis the medical term for bad breath with a one-two punch by preventing the growth of those bacteria and then blocking their ability to produce sulfur compounds, the study suggests. The researchers tested the drink's odor-fighting powers by incubating tea polyphenols with three species of bacteria associated with bad breath for 48 hours.

Halitox A quick, simple in-office test for detecting anaerobic bacterial metabolites (toxins) on the tongue which give rise to oral malodor or bad breath. Bad Breath (Halitosis) From InteliHealth Dental Reviewed by the Editorial Board of The University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine What Is It? Bad breath (also known as halitosis) is breath containing an unpleasant odor. This odor can strike periodically or be persistent, depending on the cause. In many patients, the millions of bacteria that live in the mouth are the primary culprits of bad breath. The mouth's warm, moist conditions make an ideal environment for these bacteria to grow. About 80 percent of bad breath is caused by something in the mouth. Some types of bad breath, such as "morning mouth," are considered to be fairly normal, and they are usually not health concerns. The "morning mouth" type of bad breath occurs because the saliva that regularly washes away decaying food and odors during the daytime diminishes at night while you sleep. Your mouth becomes dry, and dead cells adhere to your tongue and to the inside of your cheeks. Bacteria use these cells for food and expel compounds that have a foul odor.

Main Search Index Definition Description Causes ... Resources Bad breath Definition Bad breath, sometimes called halitosis, is an unpleasant odor of the breath. Description Bad breath is likely to be experienced by most adults at least occasionally. Bad breath, either real or imagined, can have a significant impact on a person's social and professional life. Bad breath can be caused by a number of problems. Oral diseases, fermentation of food particles in the mouth, sinus infections, and unclean dentures can all contribute to mouth odor. Many non-oral diseases, such as lung infections, kidney failure, or severe liver disease, can also cause bad breath, though rarely. Many people think that bad breath can originate in the stomach or intestines; this is extremely rare. The esophagus is usually collapsed and closed, and, although a belch may carry odor up from the stomach, the chance of bad breath being caused from air continually escaping from the stomach is remote. Cigarette smoke can cause bad breath, not only in the cigarette smoker, but also in one who is constantly exposed to second-hand smoke. Diagnosis The easiest way to determine if one has bad breath is to ask someone who is trustworthy and discrete. This is usually not too difficult. Another, more private, method of determining if one has bad breath is to lick one's wrist, wait until it dries, then smell the area. Scraping the rear area of the tongue with a plastic spoon, then smelling the spoon, is another method one can use to assess bad breath.

Aging Begins at 30 Bad Breath Ian Maclean Smith, M.D. Emeritus Professor Department of Internal Medicine University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics Creation Date: February 2002 Last Revision Date: February 2002 Peer Review Status: Internally Peer Reviewed As a student anesthetist, one day I gave chloroform to ear, nose, and throat patients and then asked a date to lunch. I got my come-uppance from Elizabeth. She exclaimed "Whew! You really do smell like a hospital!" That's when I realized absorbed things could be on the breath for quite a time. Garlic and onions behave just like the chloroform and come from your lungs and not from the stomach. If anxious or depressed you may unconsciously exaggerate how bad you think your breath is. One dentist suggested, "If you want to know how your breath smells, sniff your used dental floss or plaque removal pick." Of course your spouse or significant other can candidly tell you. It is uncommon to produce bad smells directly from inside the body. A few unfortunate individuals can't process fishy smelling choline, because they lack a breakdown enzyme. They have to memorize a list of foods high in choline, like beans, to be avoided; otherwise their breath, sweat and urine smell fishy. The word for bad breath is halitosis (breath in Latin). Three factors are important in avoiding bad breath. A good flow of saliva, a clean tongue especially the back, and the avoidance of smelly bacterial growth in the mouth. Bad smelly bacteria are those that grow without oxygen and are called anaerobic. These bad bacteria relate to poor mouth hygiene.

115. Virtual Hospital: College Health 101: Bad Breath Concerns Most cases of bad breath are temporarythe result of eating aromatic About one out of four people experience bad breath on a more consistent basis. http://www.vh.org/adult/patient/familymedicine/studenthealth/badbreath.html

College Health Tips from the University of Iowa's Student Health Service Bad Breath Concerns Julie Rohovit, M.A. Health Iowa Staff Student Health Service First Published: 2003 Last Revised: December 2003 Peer Review Status: Internally Reviewed I am worried that I have halitosis. How can I tell for sure if my breath is bad, and what can I do about it? Most of us do have bad breath at one time or another. However, the occasional sour morning breath is not truly halitosis. Most cases of bad breath are temporarythe result of eating aromatic foods such as garlic, cauliflower, coffee, and onions. Once the body has gotten rid of these substances, the odor disappears. Tobacco is another source of short-term mouth odor (a.k.a. "smoker's breath"). About one out of four people experience bad breath on a more consistent basis. If your breath odor is persistently odiferous, you may have "halitosis." Recent studies suggest halitosis results from bacteria accumulated in plaque and/or on the back of the tongue. The dental plaque that accumulates on and between our teeth, and along our gum line, is really smelly, and the longer it sits, the more pungent it becomes. Daily flossing, proper brushing and periodic professional cleanings, go a long way in preventing plaque build-up. Proper brushing means your teeth and your tongue. The back of the tongue is a major source of bad breath. Odor from the back of the tongue isn't very noticeable until a person begins to talk. When a person speaks, the tongue becomes active, intensifying the odor. Sometimes, dipping a toothbrush into mouthwash and giving the entire tongue a good brushing is all that you need to sweeten your breath. Eating fresh fibrous vegetables can also boost removal of odor causing build-up. Some tongues, especially hairy ones (yes, hairy) may require scraping with specially designed instruments. You may need to ask your dentist to order a scraper for you.

Mac users: please note that our site is optimized for the Safari browser Body emissions Bad breath and stomach Originally Published: December 02, 1994 Dear Alice, I often have a bad taste in my mouth, and bad breath as well, I assume. This doesn't stem from poor hygiene: I brush my teeth at least three times a day, and usually more. I'm wondering if there is anything I can do about this. Could this be a symptom of some sort of nutritional deficiency? I think my diet is pretty bad, although I'm working pretty hard on getting more protein and eating less fat. I've also been nauseous a lot lately, and vomiting some. Could that be related? Signed, Stinky Breath Dear Stinky Breath, Bad breath can be a result of poor dental hygiene, but also can emanate from problems with your stomach... which is why sometimes bad breath returns shortly after brushing your teeth (i.e., as soon as the toothpaste smell is gone). Vomiting is a defensive reaction by your body to clear the digestive tract. There are a variety of causes, including overindulgence in food or alcohol; as an adverse effect of many drugs (including birth control pills sometimes); disorders of the stomach or intestines that result in inflammation, irritation, or distention of either organ (including peptic ulcers, appendicitis, gastroenteritis, and food poisoning); early pregnancy; or, psychological disgust to a situation or food. There are also many other more serious causes of vomiting, and a physician would ask you specific questions to determine the root cause of your nausea and vomiting.

Mac users: please note that our site is optimized for the Safari browser Body emissions More on bad breath (Halitosis) Originally Published: May 23, 1997 Dear Alice, Like many people, I often have an embarrassing bad breath. Listerine and other mouthwashes won't be of any help for this chronic problem. There are lots of products available to get rid of "volatile sulfur compounds (VSC)" - that supposedly cause this - and I just don't know which one I should try. Also, what's your opinion on tongue-brushing? Thanks! Evil Breath Dear Evil Breath, Alice is certain everyone has, at one time or another, cupped a hand over her/his mouth to check whether her/his breath is fair or foul. When it comes to social situations, it is not uncommon for many Americans to be consciously aware of the way their breath smells to others. It can be embarrassing to have bad breath, particularly when you are conversing with someone face-to-face. You don't want to turn them off, or be faced with watching them back away, making negative facial expressions, and/or turning up their noses, every time you open your mouth. Seriously, bad breath is a common enough concern that it has helped boost the businesses of manufacturers of over-the-counter breath freshening products. However, you are right to point out that bad breath does not disappear with the use of breath mints, gums, sprays, mouthwashes, and the like because they only temporarily mask bad breath odors. So, instead of popping a mint in your mouth every five minutes, what are the more long-lasting alternatives?

var m_sActiveMenu = ''; YOU ARE HERE: Home Discover Sonicare Special Dental Conditions Bad Breath Bad Breath We're probably all familiar with bad breath. Research has shown that the major source of bad breath, also known as malodor and halitosis, is bacteria found in the mouth and the resulting volatile-sulfur compounds. Causes of increased volatile-sulfur compound activity include stress, gum disease, food debris, and dry mouth. Other factors associated to bad breath are diabetes, smoking, mouth breathing, nasal conditions, allergies, and certain foods. Dry mouth is also a contributing factor to bad breath due to the absence of saliva "washing" away food debris and bacteria. The stagnant debris and bacteria creates an unpleasant odor. In either case, meticulous daily tooth brushing and flossing to remove bacteria are crucial steps toward eliminating bad breath. The Sonicare toothbrush is an effective way to aid in the removal of bacteria. Sonicare uses high frequency brush strokes and an extra-wide sweeping motion to create dynamic fluid cleaning action. In addition, Sonicare has been proven to increase saliva flow among patients who suffer from dry mouth as a side effect of certain medications. It can also be used to clean the back portion of the tongue, a primary area for bacteria growth. This area should be cleaned twice a day either with your Sonicare toothbrush or a tongue cleaner.

Strangely enough, people who have halitosis are usually the last to know. The good news is, you don't have to put up with it any more. 'There's a way to control it,' says Dr. Barry Cash, a dentist who's operated the Fresh Breath Center in Toronto since 1995. 'It's certainly not a cure it's like having diabetes there's only control for the disorder, not a cure for it. But as long as you maintain whatever program you're on, you'll be able to keep it under control.' It starts with careful brushing and daily flossing to remove food particles and plaque. A WaterPik or electric toothbrush can be particularly useful for people with restricted hand coordination. A tongue scraper removes the gunk that's accumulated on the back of your tongue; then you rinse with an appropriate mouthwash.
