BAD BREATH & HALITOSIS EXPLAINED
"Bad Breath is due to a bacterial imbalance of the biofilms of the mouth and throat".
What do I mean by this. Well we all have biofilms (coatings) that build up every day on all surfaces of the mouth, but specifically the tongue surface, teeth, gums and throat area. When the coatings are new they have very few bacteria inside them and cause no troubles. However if the biofilms are not removed twice a day then they become a breeding ground for the opportunistic bacteria that cause bad breath.
Once inside the biofilms, the bacteria will break down proteins to amino acids and a smelly waste product called volatile sulphur compounds. These waste sulphur compounds can then become absorbed by the saliva causing not only bad breath but also a bad taste in the mouth. should the waste sulphur compounds originate from the biofilm of mucous at the back of the throat then you will also be able to smell the bad breath.
Bacteria and biofilm are natural occurrences of the mouth and throat, but we must work hard at keeping them healthy. A similar analogy would be that of a river. A fast flowing stream does not get stagnant water and weed overgrowth, yet a stagnate pool often is infected by virulent weeds and bacteria. The mouth is the same. If the biofilm is cleaned twice a day and then allowed to re grow, it generally grows healthy, however if it is allowed to stay and stagnate, it generally becomes infected with pathogenic and opportunistic mouth and throat bacteria.
It is this biofilm theory that Dr Speiser has been developing in his Australian Breath Clinic with great success. The clinic protocol is to avoid the use of harsh antibacterial chemicals and to focus on biofilm cleansers that will remove the biofilm in total taking the bacteria away with the cleaning. This biofilm protocol is called our KForce Balance System; a five day intensive program that utilises cleansers to remove old biofilms and opportunistic bacteria and allow the growth of a new and healthy biofilm and bacteria, that will promote mouth health and fresh breath. A good sign of a healthy biofilm is the clean neutral taste one gets in their mouth after using the KForce Balance System.

Treatment for Bad Breath / Halitosis
So treatment for bad breath involves a three pronged attack:
-
Change the mouth bacteria to a good probiotic bacteria that defends itself. These bacteria ideally should consume carbohydrates to prevent the breakdown to amino acids and waste products such as sulphur compounds. Two percent of the world's population are borne with such a bacteria in their mouths. The rest of us need to have a dietary supplement to have use of this probiotic.
-
Remove the biofilms where the bad breath bacteria live. Science has shown that bad breath bacteria do not bind to the teeth or tongue but rather to the coatings that build up on these surfaces. Further the coatings (biofilms) need to be more than 24 hours old to be able to support bad breath bacteria. This means a concerted program of biofilm removal and balance performed every day will ensure the least amount of offensive bacteria and thus offensive smells.
-
Change lifestyle factors that promoted the bad breath in the first place. Pathogenic bacteria and also bad breath bacteria prefer to live in an acid mouth. So the lower the pH (more acidic) of the mouth the more bad breath bacteria. Things that stimulate acid mouth are lifestyle choices such as diet or sports drinks, coffee smoking and alcohol to name a few. The list is far longer and is explained in more detail in our treatment kits.
Dr Speiser's Australian Breath Clinic has had great success in achieving a treatment for bad breath / halitosis, as we focus on all these three things. Also as all our Breath Clinics are staffed by dentists, we are able to offer free professional advice, to help tailor a treatment specific to your needs.

Our Customers Say Nice Things About Us
"I have tried almost every over the counter medication that I have come across. I have been to see many dentists without any success. Going out and talking to people became a problem. Eventually I started shying away from social outings as my self confidence went low. I couldn't be physically affectionate with my wife any more. The kisses and hugs stopped and we started sleeping in separate rooms. Then one day on National TV we saw your ad. That day has since turned out to be my miracle day. I got on the net and read more on your product. At first I thought it was just a gimmick. But my supportive wife persisted that I try it. Right from day one we noticed a vast improvement in my breath and the continued result has been overwhelming. Once again in a long long time I have started enjoying kisses and hugs from my lovely wife. I feel very confident now going out and talking to people. Thank you very much for putting back some life into my life." |
