Q&A: How do I know if I have bad breath?

Most of the time people get so accustomed to their own odors that they cannot smell their bad breath. Usually, you can realize that there is something wrong if people you talk to turning the head away, rubbing their noses or in some other way giving you indirect signals. Persons close to you or your family may tell you openly about your problem. We can get your breath analyzed using Halimeter - the device that shows the level of a gas produced by the bacteria.

Q&A: How can I get rid of bad breath?

The bacteria in your mouth hide deep inside the gums advancing via root's surfaces down to the bone that supports teeth and creating focal points of chronic infection. Proper diagnostics early is essential. Undiagnosed problem gets worse year after year. To get rid of bad breath means to get rid of the bacteria that cause it. Our special program helps to accomplish this goal by combining the initial therapy with new concept of home care and nutritional support. It brought relief to a lot of people and it will help you too.

Q&A: If I get the treatment, is the result permanent?

The proliferation of certain bacteria changes the "ecosystem" in your mouth. The balance is shifted toward the aggressive type of bacteria that give you bad breath. Our patients feel relief after the treatment and most of them notice the change even before it is finished. However, it takes consistent effort to reverse this unbalanced ecosystem around. That requires your commitment to the effective home care and regular maintenance. Sticking to the individually designed home hygiene protocol you'll get consistently better as the non-aggressive types of bacteria restore the ecosystem. Staying healthy is also significant because like with any disease having a good immune system is important.

Q&A: I’ve been trying any mouth rinse and tooth paste advertised on TV. But they did not help me. Why do not they work?

These products do not address the bacterial problem focusing instead on masking the odor and giving a false impression of "a magic pill". However, there are products (toothpaste, mouth rinse, etc.) which contain chlorine dioxide - a well-known antiseptic - that works in some cases. Also, if you have a heavy bacterial build up on the back of the tongue you might benefit from scraping it off. Special irrigation also was proven to be a great tool. We've put together a couple of simple and inexpensive antibacterial fresh breath kits for home care that might be good for you. It can be purchased on line or by calling our office. Or you may prefer to call for a free initial consultation and consider getting on our treatment program. Start making changes today.

Q&A: I brush my teeth twice a day and floss them too. But I still have a bad breath. Why brushing and flossing doesn’t do anything?

For a lot of people it seems inconceivable that they would have bad breath originated in their mouth - after all you brush you teeth. But bacteria, which accumulate around the teeth, start their harmful work between them especially in the back where it is hard to reach and where very few people floss. The underlying problem of bad breath is the bacterial infection. The bacterial toxin works on pulling off the gums from the teeth allowing the bacteria to advance very deep. No floss, or brush, or mouthwash can get deep inside. Actually, these affected sites are just like the chronic wounds and if they are not properly cared for the process never stops and only gets worse. Our goal is to halt the progression of this disease and to eliminate your bad breath. The effective program that we've designed integrates for you all the necessary components of treatment and the follow up care.

Q&A: I have bad breath and was recommended the gum surgery. Will it help?

Usually the gum surgery is performed in order to open the infected areas inside the gums and to access the hidden parts of teeth and bone. It is like lifting the curtains if you want to clean your windows thoroughly. The problem is that people skip after surgery the most important part - regular maintenance. If you've cleaned up your neglected weedy garden you'll see the weeds will grow wildly again soon unless you keep coming back repeatedly and control it. What makes the difference in our program and why it works is because we strictly conform to the follow up care. And we rarely have to resort to the gum surgery. Not only we teach our patient about everyday oral hygiene but we also support the instructions with special appliances and antibacterial products for better tooth cleaning and irrigation. You new and effective daily routine is easy to follow and it lives you mouth and your teeth pleasantly clean and fresh. The best part is that you do not have to recourse to mints and gum.
