Bad Breath Treatment Program

BREEZECARE BAD BREATH PROGRAM

BreezeCare has developed a 3 Step Program available as our KForce Breath Guard Starter Kit. This kit is designed to help generate healthy mouth bacteria and thus banish bad breath. The program lasts for one month after which time you maintain your bacterial balance with one of our Refill Maintenance Kits. The program was developed in consultation with Otago University and Blis Technologies in New Zealand. Feedback from our many patients and Internet Clientele has been nothing short of amazing. The science behind this program has been submitted to scientific journals and has been accepted for publication.

Step One: Bacterial Balance
Scientific studies have shown that people with fresh breath have high levels of the beneficial oral bacteria Streptococcus salivarius living on their tongue. These benefical oral bacteria primarily break down carbohydrates, not proteins, so produce little odour. On the other hand, people with chronic bad breath typically have low levels of these bacteria, and their tongues instead become inhabited with the odour causing bacteria responsible for bad breath. The KForce Breath Guard Starter Kit contains these benefical bacteria, and is used as the first step in a revolutionary new approach to help fight the bacteria that cause bad breath.

Step Two: Tongue Cleaning
The bacteria that cause bad breath live in coatings or biofilms on the tongue, under the gums and around the teeth. If these coatings are not removed every day, then they will promote bacteria growth and increased bad breath smells. The Tongue Cleaning Regime we recommend is designed to help remove these coatings from all surfaces. Our cleaning gels are designed with healthy ingredients so as not to upset sensitive tongues. All our cleaning gels contain fluoride to help prevent tooth decay as well as pyrophosphates to reduce tartar buildup. This means the cleaning gels can be used for both the tongue and teeth every day.

Step Three: Lifestyle Changes
The third step of the program involves specific lifestyle changes. Studies of patients at our BreezeCare Clinic in Australia have shown that avoiding certain proteins that breakdown to Cysteine and Methionine will go along way in avoiding bad breath. The most common proteins that break down to these amino acids are dairy products, nasal mucous and blood from bleeding gums.

Next it is important to avoid dry mouth. Dry mouth triggers growth of anaerobic bacteria, and it is these bacteria that cause the bad breath problem. To stop dry mouth you should avoid all types of alcohol, whether as a drink or alcohol (ethanol) in most commercial mouthwash. Commercial mouthwash is designed to kill mouth bacteria. At the BreezeCare Clinic we have found that bacterial balance is a far better and long term successful approach to stopping bad breath. Also avoid coffee, and stress, as these are dry mouth triggers.

Now Maintain your Fresh Breath
Dr Speiser recommends that all patients begin with the KForce Breath Guard Starter Kit for 4 weeks minimum. At the end of this time, the patient should assess their situation. The patient can then use the KForce Breath Guard Refill Kit to maintain their fresh breath, or continue with another KForce Breath Starter Kit. Each patient is different, and both body factors and external environment factors will determine which kit is best to continue on.

Our Customers Say Nice Things
"Dear Dr Speiser and the BreezeCare Team. Just wanted to drop you a line about the great products you have on offer. After watching "Whats Good For You", I decided to check out your website and found a lot of helpful information. I thought I would give it a go, so I purchased a Starter Kit. I have since purchased a Refill Kit and will continue with this in the future. After trying so many different things in the past and despite being very thorough with my oral hygiene, I could never get past my bad breath. It affected every aspect of my life, both socially and professionally. However since using your products I have had no such problems and my confidence is as high as ever!!! Even food has a better flavour now! Thanks again guys! Keep up the great work!!!" JR Aust.
