Halitosis Cure

There are some very simple cures for bad breath, and some very complex ones. Getting a better understanding of why we have bad breath is very important in the process of finding 'your' bad breath cure / halitosis cure. (Halitosis is the medical term for 'bad breath').

Let's start with bacteria..... You see, we all need bacteria in our mouth because these bacteria are our digestive systems' first exposure to the foods we consume. The bacteria in our mouth begins to break-down proteins, ultimately assisting our bodies to digest food more rapidly and effectively. Unfortunately for some, at the same time these bacteria can leave us with odorous sulfur compounds in our mouths/throats which cause halitosis... or bad breath. Getting rid of these odorous sulphur compounds is simple and complex at the same time. Oxygen is the key ingredient that needs to assist in converting the smelly sulphur into odorless sulfate.

Too many scientific words ? Have a quick read of 'The Bad Breath Bible' to get a better understanding of halitosis causes and treatments. After reading this article you will agree that there is no single 2-minute-fix cures for bad breath, but there is a structured method of 'treatment' that works for most.

'Cure' versus 'treatment' - it is important to distinguish between 'halitosis cure' and 'halitosis treatment' because the word 'cure' is normally associated with permanency. Bad breath, or halitosis, is a condition that can be 'treated' but not 'cured' - nobody can provide you with a 100% cure for halitosis. You just need to follow some simple guidelines, and you will be able to easily treat your bad breath.

Don't be scared-off though thinking that you'll be stuck with bad breath for life with no hope, because the treatment can be as simple as changing to a toothpaste that doesn't contain soap. In the article mentioned above, Dr Katz's cures for bad breath revolve around adding oxygen. His method prevent the anaerobic bacteria from creating the odorous sulfide and Mercaptan compounds by "adding oxygen" to the environment that the bacteria live in. The end result is the formation of a "Sulfate", which has no odor or taste...... and this can be achieved by doing as little as changing your toothpaste.
