Halitosis Treatment

Halitosis is a medical term for 'bad breath'. Some say halitosis is a result of many contributing factors including poor oral hygiene, gum disease, sinus infection, liver disease, poor functioning kidneys, etc etc. Fact is, there is no scientific proof that any of these factors are the single direct factor that is attributable to causing bad breath.

What we do know is that bacteria in the mouth, and the way it reacts with certain proteins, is the catalyst for odors being produced in the form of sulfurs..... giving that pungent rotten smell. Everyone has bacteria in their mouth. We need these bacteria as they are the first step in our bodies ability to digest foods we consume. They begin the digestive process by breaking down certain proteins, but for some of us, this process leaves us with the sulfur odors...... halitosis.

Halitosis treatment then is the method by which we can reduce or elimintae these sulfuric odors. Gum, Breath mints, breath strips and mouthwash are NOT the answer. They are just part of a multibillion-dollar-a-year industry which provide a very short mask for the real cause of halitosis.
