Fresh breath therapy
“Thank you for taking the time to understand my condition and offering treatments that 
really work. I have suffered for years from embarrassment due to my halitosis: I lost partners and repulsed work mates. I tried everything, and nothing worked (not for more than five minutes anyway). Now I am in control of my life, and I attract people like never before. My quality of life has definitely improved, thanks to you.” Anita J. Auckland
Bad breath (halitosis) is a very common condition that affects people of all ages. It is mainly caused by the overgrowth of certain bacteria in the mouth. Most of these bacteria are anaerobic (they hate oxygen) and so live under the gums, in between teeth, in broken and leaking fillings and many live on the back of the tongue. Bad breath is rarely caused by stomach upsets or even sinus problems.
These bacteria break down proteins from food, mucous and dead cells to produce odorous sulphur compounds (also known as Volatile Sulphur Compounds or VSCs). Sulphur is what causes garlic and onion to smell, and that is what makes someone’s mouth smell too.
Brushing and flossing are important to keep bacterial numbers down, but many areas aren’t accessible to normal cleaning methods, like leaking fillings, tartar under the gums and the bacteria that live between the fibres of your tongue. Most commercial mouth rinses just temporarily mask the smell, or kill just a few of the bugs, which soon come back in large armies. Many of these rinses add fuel to the fire by being acidic and high in alcohol (ethanol), this dries up the mouth. A dry mouth is the single highest risk factor for all oral and dental disease!
If you believe that you have frequent or constant bad breath, seek advice from a dental professional who understands this disease and its relation to gum disease, dental decay and the rest of the body. All of these conditions are caused by bacteria and can be treated.
You can help yourself by:
- Increasing your saliva flow by drinking more water, reducing caffeine and alcohol intake
- Chewing xylitol gum between meals
- Stop or cut down on smoking
- Brushing and flossing as well as you can and using a tongue scraper to gently clean your tongue
- Stop using alcohol-based, acidic mouth rinses. They just make things worse
- Using our unique alkaline, safe, alcohol and detergent-free OZOSPA dental products.
- Use baking soda or hydrogen peroxide (diluted) as cheap rinses that work well to neutralise acid and introduce active oxygen in the mouth
