But only if it's flavored with "breath freshening" oils, a new study shows. Natural germ killers are a particular interest of University of Illinois at Chicago researcher Christine Wu, PhD. Wu has found that several plant essential oils kill the germs that cause cavities and bad breath. Yes, bad breath. You don't have to eat a garlic pizza to have it. Some of the germs that live in your mouth give off a chemical called hydrogen sulfide. Essentially, they're microscopic stink bombs. In a study funded by Wrigley, Wu's team looked at whether chewing gum favored with plant oils could do more than sweeten the breath. They enrolled 15 volunteers who chewed cinnamon-flavored Big Red brand gum, another flavored gum, or an unflavored gum base. Without knowing which gum they were getting, each study participant chewed each gum for 20 minutes. An observer made sure they chewed at the rate of one chew every second. If you're counting, that's 1,200 chews per stick of gum.

Shut your mouth by Ellie Levenson It's an embarrassing problem. You go near someone to say hello and they hold their nose. But most people will suffer from bad breath at some point in their lives. Bad breath (its medical name is halitosis) happens for all sorts of reasons. Doctors used to think nothing could cure it. But we now know there are many ways to help solve the problem. The first step in getting rid of bad breath is realising you have it. We're not much good at knowing our own smells, and many of your friends may feel uncomfortable telling you if they think your breath smells. If you're worried, try asking someone you can trust, like a close friend or one of your parents. Or lick the inside of your wrist and allow it to dry. Then smell it. You'll soon know if you have bad breath. Bad breath can sometimes be passed on by kissing. Ugh! That's a good reason not to kiss anyone If you do have bad breath, it's a good idea to go to your dentist (you should have a check-up once or twice a year anyway). The smell may be caused by bacteria in your mouth. Bacteria like hot, sticky airless places so they'll love your mouth.

Bad Breath / Halitosis Bad Breath or Halitosis: Foul odor from the mouth. Good oral hygiene and a well balance diet usually results in fresh smelling breath. In some cases halitosis can be a signal of a serious health problems. Cause: U sually results from poor oral hygiene. Plaque is the major cause of bad breath. Plaque is the sticky coating of food particles, saliva, and bacteria on the teeth. Certain foods and spices can attribute to bad breath, such as; garlic, salami, pepperoni, anchovies, cheese, and certainly smoking and alcohol. Lack of food and water can also lead to bad breath. Saliva aids to clean the mouth, eating and drinking stimulates saliva flow. (if after flossing and brushing teeth and a well balance diet does not seem to help relieve bad breath, SEE YOUR DOCTOR for further evaluation) because certain medical disorder such as and not limited to; TB, diabetics, sinusitis, gum disease, post nasal drip, and cancer can be the culprit. Certain drugs can be the cause. Symptoms: Foul, stale odor coming from the mouth

Healthy children (and adults, too!) do sometimes have bad breath. If the smell disappears after brushing or rinsing, it's normal. Also, keep in mind that what seems like bad breath to you may not be offensive to others. That said, normal bacteria living in the mouth and interacting with leftover food particles could cause true breath odor even in a healthy child. The food particles can be between the teeth, at the gum line, on the tongue, or on the surface of the tonsils at the back of your child's throat. Bacteria that react to saliva also can cause bad breath, especially if left undisturbed in the mouth for a period of time. This is one reason we all have "morning breath." After a long night's sleep, the reaction between the substances in our mouth has caused an odor, which remains until we brush or rinse it away. Eating and drinking can help cleanse the offending substances from the mouth, so frequent drinks of water and snacks such as fruit and crackers are a good idea. Your child could also have bad breath if he sucks his thumb, uses a pacifier, or sucks or chews on a blanket. The object may have an odor from repeated exposure to saliva and oral bacteria. It also may have other residue on it, such as old food. Make sure your child washes his hands frequently with soap if he's a thumb-sucker, and wash security blankets frequently. Of course, you can also encourage him to stop the sucking habit, but this is easier said than done. If he uses a pacifier, sterilize it frequently, either by running it through the dishwasher or dropping it in boiling water.

Halitosis is a common problem with many causes. This vexing problem can be broken down into three main sources, the determination of which is needed in order to resolve.....external, intraoral, and extraoral. External Causes - This is the most widespread cause of transient bad breath. Many foods and drinks can cause mild to severe halitosis (garlic, onions, cheeses, alcohol, etc,). Most people are aware of these culprits and they cause little chronic problem. Smoking is a real breath killer, which can only be controlled by quitting. Intraoral Causes- The mouth itself is by far the most common source of halitosis. The culprits here are bacteria producing volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs). These bacteria are found throughout the mouth but are most common on the surface of the tongue and in the tissue pocket below the gum line adjacent to each tooth. These bacteria thrive with poor oral hygiene and gum disease states (

This bacteria is breaking down food debris which creates by-products called volatile sulfur compounds (methyl mercaptan and hydrogen sulfide) which emit a smell similar to rotten eggs. Because this bacteria needs an environment free of oxygen, they will live in areas that are difficult to reach-such as pockets around teeth; the grooves in the tongue and especially on the back of the tongue.

92. BAD BREATH bad breath. The above Hadith also gives the faster good news regarding thechanging breath of the faster, which is sweeter to Allah (SWT) than musk. http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/fundamentals/pillars/fasting/tajuddin/fast_9.html

[Next] [Previous] [Top] BAD BREATH The above Hadith also gives the faster good news regarding the changing breath of the faster, which is sweeter to Allah (SWT) than musk. The changing breath of the mouth is a vivid physical testimony of this discipline. As much as we hate bad breath, in fasting it is a good thing, for it is caused by the coating which appears on the upper surface of the tongue soon after the commencement of the fast. After desiring food, the body begins to digest such waste material and deposits of fat as are available to it. This coating on the tongue is an outward proof that inner elimination is in progress. As soon as the digestive organs have been purified, the mouth returns to normal. In a hadith related by Abdullah Bin Omar, the Prophet said: "Fasting (Siyaam) and the Book of Allah (Al-Qur'an) will intercede for the servant on the Day of Judgment. The fasting will say: 'O, Allah, I denied him nourishment and sex during the daytime. Let me intercede on his behalf', and Al-Qur'an will say: 'I denied him sleep during night time; so let me intercede on his behalf.' So Allah will allow them to intercede on his behalf." (Ahmed) This hadith indicates on the Day of Judgment, when the events will be overwhelming and the outcome uncertain, the fast and the Book will intercede for the servants of Allah. As every second of daytime devotion and every letter of Al-Qur'an voices their pleasure openly with you during the witnessing and interviewing, bear in mind that

Bad Breath Bad breath often is a symptom of a larger problem. Simply gargling with mouthwash or popping a mint often only masks the problem and doesn't get to the cause. The best advice is to assess what is causing your bad breath. Smoking and drinking alcohol are common obvious causes. Other causes may be gastrointestinal upset, medications, gum disease, infected or decayed teeth or a respiratory tract infection. If you have bad breath more than just occasionally, you don't smoke and your doctor has ruled out an underlying medical or dental cause you should start by brushing and flossing your teeth and scrubbing your tongue. Most people who brushed their tongues and rinsed with mouth rinse after breakfast and before going to bed reduced foul mouth odor. Secondly, you can snack on a sprig of parsley, a home remedy that really works. Did you find this page useful?

How do I get rid of bad breath? The causes of chronic bad breath and how to get rid of it NOW! Many rumors circulate from time to time about the cause of chronic bad breath, or halitosis. Does it emanate from the mouth or actually from somewhere in the gastrointestinal tract? You can almost rule out the theory of bad breath(BB) coming from places other than the mouth. The esophagus is collapsed normally and air can only escape in the form of the occasional burp! If your mouth and teeth are healthy (unhealthy or infected gums and teeth would be an immediate cause of bad breath) you should first check the dorsum, or that area on the back of the tongue. Where does that discharge come from? Postnasal drip. Although the postnasal drip doesnt have an odor when it first reaches the tongue, it develops one as it sits there. To combat this source of bad breath, gargle with an effective mouthwash (your dentist could recommend a good one) and then actually clean the tongue thoroughly with a tongue scraper or a toothbrush without toothpaste on it. You may find this procedure uncomfortable due to the fact that it triggers the gag reflex, but in time this subsides. bodyOffer(28655) After ruling out the mouth, the tongue and infected teeth, the next area to investigate is the nose and the nasal passages. If a person is suffering from sinusitis or another bacterial infection, a blockage of the airway or dry nasal mucous it can lead to bad breath. To discern whether the odor is coming from the mouth or the nose will take the efforts of a dentist or a very good friend. If the patient breathes our through their nose and the odor is similar to that exiting the mouth, the nose is most likely the culprit. In this case an ear, nose and throat doctor should be contacted for further investigation of the problem. A child may have a foreign object lodged in the nasal passages and that can result in a very bad odor.

'There's a way to control it,' says Dr. Barry Cash, a dentist who's operated the Fresh Breath Center in Toronto since 1995. 'It's certainly not a cure it's like having diabetes there's only control for the disorder, not a cure for it.

Click here to close this window. What Is Halitosis? More than 90 million people suffer from chronic halitosis or bad breath. In most cases it originates from the gums and tongue. The odor is caused by bacteria from the decay of food particles, other debris in your mouth, and poor oral hygiene. The decay and debris produce a sulfur compound that causes the unpleasant odor. What causes bad breath and what can be done about it? Bad breath is primarily caused by poor oral hygiene, but can also can be caused by retained food particles or gum disease. Proper brushing including brushing the tongue, cheeks, and the roof of the mouth will remove bacteria and food particles. Flossing removes accumulated bacteria, plaque and food that may be trapped between teeth. Mouth rinses are effective in temporary relief of bad breath. Consult your dentist and/or physician if the condition persists. Does bad breath come from other sources than the mouth? Bad breath also may occur in people who have a medical infection, gum disease, diabetes, kidney failure, or a liver malfunction. Xerostomia (dry mouth) and tobacco also contribute to this problem. Cancer patients who undergo radiation therapy may experience dry mouth. Even stress, dieting, snoring, age and hormonal changes can have an effect on your breath. An odor that comes from the back of your tongue may indicate post-nasal drip. This is where the mucus secretion, which comes from the nose and moves down your throat, gets stuck on the tongue and causes an odor. Bad breath originating in the stomach, however, is considered to be extremely rare.

The Benefits How It Works The Sonicare Story Special Dental Conditions ... Dry Mouth Bad Breath Tooth Sensitivity Crowns Veneers 28-Day No-Risk Guarantee We're probably all familiar with bad breath. Research has shown that the major source of bad breath, also known as malodor and halitosis, is bacteria found in the mouth and the resulting volatile-sulfur compounds. Causes of increased volatile-sulfur compound activity include stress, gum disease, food debris, and dry mouth. Other factors associated to bad breath are diabetes, smoking, mouth breathing, nasal conditions, allergies, and certain foods. Dry mouth is also a contributing factor to bad breath due to the absence of saliva "washing" away food debris and bacteria. The stagnant debris and bacteria creates an unpleasant odor. In either case, meticulous daily tooth brushing and flossing to remove bacteria are crucial steps toward eliminating bad breath. The Sonicare toothbrush is an effective way to aid in the removal of bacteria. Sonicare uses high frequency brush strokes and extra-wide sweeping motion to create dynamic fluid cleaning action. In addition, Sonicare has been proven to increase saliva flow among patients who suffer from dry mouth as a side effect of certain medications. It can also be used to clean the back portion of the tongue, a primary area of bacteria growth. This area should be cleaned twice a day either with your Sonicare toothbrush or a tongue cleaner.

Halitox A quick, simple in-office test for detecting anaerobic bacterial metabolites (toxins) on the tongue which give rise to oral malodor or bad breath. Bad Breath (Halitosis) From InteliHealth Dental Reviewed by the Editorial Board of The University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine What Is It? Bad breath (also known as halitosis) is breath containing an unpleasant odor. This odor can strike periodically or be persistent, depending on the cause. In many patients, the millions of bacteria that live in the mouth are the primary culprits of bad breath. The mouth's warm, moist conditions make an ideal environment for these bacteria to grow. About 80 percent of bad breath is caused by something in the mouth. Some types of bad breath, such as "morning mouth," are considered to be fairly normal, and they are usually not health concerns. The "morning mouth" type of bad breath occurs because the saliva that regularly washes away decaying food and odors during the daytime diminishes at night while you sleep. Your mouth becomes dry, and dead cells adhere to your tongue and to the inside of your cheeks. Bacteria use these cells for food and expel compounds that have a foul odor.
