Five Things to Know About Bad Breath
 
1. There are two types of bad breath.
 

Transitory bad breath is caused by foods like garlic and onions and generally only lasts from 24 to 72 hours.



Chronic bad breath does not improve over time. The "odor" of chronic bad breath results when bacteria in the mouth and on the tongue cause the formation of volatile sulfur compounds (VSC's) in the form of hydrogen sulfides. The back of the tongue is the prime breeding spot for anaerobic bacteria that creates odor-causing Volatile Sulfur Compounds. This may be an ongoing problem requiring professional breath management.

 
2. BreathRx fights both the cause and the effect of bad breath.
 

BreathRx contains ZYTEXTM, a unique and powerful dual-action complex that fights bad breath two ways: #1 - ZYTEX reduces the foul smelling volatile sulfur compounds which provide the "odor" of bad breath. #2 - ZYTEX kills the gram negative organisms responsible for the production of VSC's.

 
3. Now, even chronic bad breath can be effectively managed.
 

There is no permanent cure for the cause of 90% of chronic bad breath. But now, thanks to BreathRx, the freshest possible breath can become a daily reality.



In some instances, chronic bad breath is actually caused by underlying medical conditions like diabetes, sinusitis or emphysema. And in those rare situations, treating the disease could possibly eliminate the cause of the bad breath. Fortunately, we can help diagnose the various types and causes of bad breath.

 
4. Products that only mask bad breath are bad news.
 

Most over-the-counter products do not eliminate bad breath. They can only hide it temporarily. An independent study of fifteen mouthwash products showed that while they all masked bad breath after ten minutes, only a few were still working after a few hours.



And when it comes to something as important as your breath, you shouldn't rely on something that can let you down at any moment. Also, most mouthwash products contain alcohol that dries soft oral tissue and ultimately leads to even faster formation of odor-causing bacteria.



Additionally, a 1991 study quoted in the "Journal of the American Dental Association" indicated that mouthwashes "containing more than 25% alcohol could increase the risk of oral and pharyngeal cancers by about 50%."



Fortunately, that's a risk you don't have to take. Because 100% alcohol-free BreathRx kills both the cause and the resulting odors of bad breath. That's how BreathRx outperforms other products that can only mask odor or remain effective for only a matter of minutes.

 
5. Even good friends won't tell you about your bad breath.
 

We've all had friends, relatives and co-workers with less than fresh breath. We turn away when they talk, or shy away when they kiss. Why? Because there's just no easy way to bring up such a sensitive subject.



But the situation is far from hopeless. We can assess your individual situation and provide the BreathRx products to help you maintain the freshest breath possible.
