Where Bad Breath Comes From and How to Prevent
It
Your
mouth is a teeming jungle of micro-organisms. Growing on your
teeth, gums, and tongue these organisms have names like S. mutans
and P. gingivitis
Millions of these microscopic monsters feast on
food left on teeth and gums. Ungrateful guests, these bacteria pour
out putrid smelling volatile sulfur compounds (the very same
compounds which cause rotten eggs and decaying matter to
smell).
These volatile sulfur compounds give breath its
foul odor!
You have two choices, continue to suffer with
bad breath or learn how to fight it.
The Keys To
Fighting Bad Breath: Your Path to a Fresh Smelling
Smile
Key 1: Eliminate Awful Smelling Volatile Sulfur Compounds:
It's no wonder that most mints, sprays, and
mouthwashes do little to eliminate bad breath. They simply cover up
bad breath smell, usually for less than an hour.
Imagine spraying air freshener on top of a bag
of garbage. Do you really expect the garbage to smell fresh
afterwards? The same thing happens as we use sprays and breath
mints, hoping in vain that they'll eliminate bad
breath.
In order to wipe out bad breath, you need
products which wipe out volatile sulfur compounds, not cover them
up.
Recently, a new line of products featuring
patented chlorine dioxide actually attacks volatile sulfur
compounds at the molecular level rendering the volatile sulfur
compounds harmless.
Chlorine dioxide has been used for decades to
purify city water supplies. This powerful odor fighting ingredient
can now be found in the CloSYSII line of products including
CloSYSII mouthwash, breath spray, and toothpaste. If you truly want
to fight bad breath, use CloSYSII.
Key 2: Eliminate the Micro-Organisms Which Produce Volatile Sulfur
Compounds:
Clearing your mouth of its micro-organism jungle
is the job of everyday oral care. While almost everyone brushes,
people commonly skip two practices which allow volatile sulfur
producing organisms to escape and thrive. These include:
FLOSSING: One of the
most important things you can do to prevent bad breath is to floss
daily. We miss nearly forty percent of tooth surfaces when we brush
without flossing! Imagine washing only sixty percent of your body
while missing the other forty percent day after day. Sooner or
later people would notice ! The same thing happens in our mouth as
bacteria build up between our teeth, producing ever increasing
amounts of volatile sulfur compounds..
Dentists suggest that you floss at least once a
day. Try using dental floss which doesn't shred. We suggest Glide
dental floss because it is made of gortex. Gortex floss slides
easily through teeth without shredding. If you don't like using
dental floss, try an electric flosser. These devices make flossing
quick and easy.
CLEANING YOUR
TONGUE: While brushing and flossing are crucial first steps,
they do not always eliminate bad breath. This is because odor
causing bacteria hide deep within the crevices of your
tongue.
Using a tongue cleaner removes bacteria which
reside on your tongue. We suggest the BreathAID Tongue Cleaner or
the Oralgiene Electric Tongue Cleaner. A few seconds using either
of these devices could mean incredibly fresher breath.
