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?

Halitosis Halitosis, also called bad breath, foul breath, malodor, foetor ex ore, and fetor oris is defined as an offensive odor emanating from the oral cavity. Bad breath is a common pet odor complaint. Causes may be oral (most common) or extraoral (rare). The sour milk odor accompanying periodontal disease may result from the bacterial population associated with plaque, calculus, unhealthy tissues, decomposing food particles retained within the oral cavity, or the rotten meat odor emanating from tissue necrosis. Contrary to common belief, neither normal lung air or stomach aroma contributes to halitosis. The most common cause of halitosis is periodontal disease caused by plaque (bacteria). Bacteria is attracted to the pellicle (an acellular film formed from the precipitation of salivary glycoproteins). In the freshly cleaned and polished tooth a glycoprotein layer forms over the tooth as soon as the patient starts to salivate. Bacteria attaches to the pellicle within 6-8 hours. Within days, the plaque becomes mineralized producing calculus. As plaque ages and gingivitis develops into periodontitis (bone loss), the bacterial flora changes from a predominantly non-motile gram-positive aerobic coccoid flora to a more motile, gram-negative anaerobic population including: Bacteroides, Fusobacterium, and Actinomyces species. Most patients suffering from halitosis have oral causes, the remaining are caused by, dermatologic, metabolic, respiratory, or gastrointestinal disease.

Sukhchain Dr Trisha Macnair responds Halitosis is very common and is usually caused by simple things you can do something about. Some illnesses can cause bad breath, such as kidney or liver failure (in fact, doctors are taught to smell their patients' breath to look out for these), but if you're otherwise well it's unlikely that these are causing your problem. If you're worried, though, check with your doctor. People often laugh at bad breath, but it's a serious problem and has lead to social isolation, divorce and even suicide.

Advanced formula toothpaste, mouthwash, and breath spray fight bad breath at the source, for incredibly clean, fresh breath. Guaranteed or your money back. CLICK HERE Brushing and flossing are two of the most crucial elements for attacking bad breath. Bad breath is caused by bacteria which live on our teeth and gums. These bacteria feast on food particles left on our teeth creating volatile sulfur compounds (VSC). These sulfur compounds give breath its foul odor. Brushing and flossing remove bacteria and the food bacteria feast on so that they can no longer create volatile sulfur compounds. Unfortunately, many people do not brush long enough to remove bacteria from their teeth. It takes 2-3 minutes to brush all tooth surfaces yet most people spend less than a minute brushing their teeth. Worse yet, few people take the time to floss allowing odor producing bacteria to grow rampantly in the spaces between your teeth. Brushing without flossing is like washing only 70% of your body when you bathe - the other 30% remains dirty.

GDA Consumer Center Careers Insurance Seniors Kids ... Teens Halitosis Spit Tobacco GDA Home Consumers Battle Bad Breath The Georgia Dental Association receives many calls from patients concerned about bad breath. They want to know if any dentists specialize in fixing bad breath, or if the GDA knows about any special breath centers they could visit, or if there are any special products they should buy to combat their problem. The key is to remember that bad breath, or halitosis, can have many causes. Certain foods such as garlic can create bad breath. Once food is absorbed into the bloodstream, it is expelled through the lungs. Until the body eliminates the food, mouthwash or gum will only temporarily mask food odors on the breath. If you do not brush or floss regularly, food particles, garlic ridden or not, can build up on the teeth and gums. This food residue can contribute to foul smelling breath. Make sure to brush and floss after every meal. And don't forget to brush your tongue, where sticky film from food can reside. You'll be surprised how fresh your mouth feels after scrubbing your tongue gently with a brush and paste.

This procedure was demonstrated at a conference. These conclusions should be considered to be preliminary as the data upon which they are based have not yet been presented, reviewed and published in a peer-reviewed publication. Review WASHINGTON, July 14-Low concentrations of the same chemical solution dentists use to bleach patients' teeth can significantly reduce chronic halitosis, according to a clinical demonstration presented here. Carbamide peroxide, at about a third of the tooth-whitening dose, can destroy the sulfur compounds and Gram-negative bacteria that cause bad breath, reported Louis J.

78. Halitosis Treatment In The Dental Office halitosis, and the treatment of this problem, is quickly becoming the growth The treatment of halitosis is often viewed as a nondental procedure by http://www.priory.com/hali.htm

Halitosis Treatment in the Dental Office Halitosis, and the treatment of this problem, is quickly becoming the growth area of the 90's in dental practices throughout North America. Oral malodor is a very pervasive problem, and can be simply an embarassment to some, or the sign of potentially serious systemic problems for others. Most of us as dental professionals have received little, if any, formal training in the management of this problem. Professionals are being drawn to establish this treatment service within their offices for several reasons. Perhaps the primary reason is the power of this concept as a marketing tool. It is an excellent way of attracting new patients, particularly those who are not regular users of dental services. The treatment of halitosis is often viewed as a "non-dental" procedure by the public, and so does not carry the psychological impact of other dental treatment. This allows us to get these people comfortable with the dental environment in a non-threatening fashion. Amongst our existing patients it is a strong motivator for the acceptance of dental treatment, particularly in the area of periodontal disease, which is known to be a major source of halitosis. Finally, we now have available the means to quantify this problem, and some definitive means to treat the problem, once properly diagnosed. It is generally known and agreed that VSC's(Volatile Sulfur Compounds) are responsible for the odor, and that 80-90% of these come from oral sources. VSC's are produced by bacterial and cellular degradation, and include hydrogen sulphide, methyl mercaptan, and dimethyl sulphide. The fact that oral odors can originate from sources other than the oral cavity, demands that a proper diagnosis be done, requiring a thorough exam and history. It is known that systemic disorders, medications, and ENT problems can all contribute to halitosis.
