We provide effective clinical halitosis treatments and remedies, for adults and children dealing with chronic bad breath problems. We understand that bad breath can be embarrassing and most people want it to just go away. Fortunately, most cases of bad breath are not permanent and can be resolved.
At other times it may be related to an underlying health issue and that’s why it’s important to speak with a dentist that understands the common causes of bad breath and knows which treatments would be best for you.
The following information will help you understand the causes of halitosis and whether it’s time for you to speak to your dentist or hygienist about ways of resolving the issue professionally.
What Causes Bad Breath?
While gum disease is usually associated with breath odour, even healthy mouths can have odour. The same types of bacteria cause both breath odour and gum disease. An increase in harmful oral bacteria, even in otherwise healthy mouths, is by far the most common cause of an array of persistent and chronic health conditions.
Bad Breath Is Not Your Fault!
Bad breath bacteria are found under the gums, on the tongue, the back of the throat and on tonsils. These bacteria break down proteins, producing bad smelling chemicals called ‘volatile sulfur compounds’ (VSCs). The VSC chemicals dissolve in saliva and coat nasal passages, affect your sense of taste and smell, and substantially impact your overall physical health. When VSCs mix with the air we breath, our breath develops an unpleasant odour.
The following conditions can add to symptoms of bad breath:
- periodontal disease
- daily stress
- poor nutrition
- dental cavities
- sulfurous foods
- hunger odour (ketosis)
- hormonal changes
- digestive disorders like acid reflux
- dehydration
- prescription drugs
Control Bad Breath Concerns With Oravital®
Research shows that 75% of the population suffers from some form of periodontal disease, and about 50% from halitosis. Both are evidence of an oral infection. Dental hygiene cleanings alone will not eliminate infectious oral bacteria and over-the-counter rinses or breath products may briefly mask the odours, but they don’t eliminate the underlying infection altogether.
The OraVital System is a uniquely effective and individualized treatment program for bad breath and gum disease. OraVital treatment has helped thousands of patients start new lives after years – or even a lifetime – of living with chronic halitosis.
