Types Of Rinses For Bad Breath

Here are few of oral rinses used to battle against bad breath. Read about them to get more info on which one to choose. I do not guarantee they are 100 % cure, sometimes they will not even help you, it depends on how strong the bad breath is and what is the cause. Talking about the cause, the doctors are still figuring it out (please help us before year 3000).

Zinc Rinses:
Clinical trials conclude that zinc mouth rinses are effective for reducing oral malodor in people with good oral health. Zinc rinses (in chloride, citrate or acetate form) have been found to reduce oral volatile sulfur compound (VSC) concentrations for greater than three hours. The zinc ion may counteract the toxicity of the VSC's and it functions as an odor inhibitor by preventing disulfide group reduction to thiols and by reaction with the thiols groups in VSC's. It has been reported a zinc-based rinse was more effective as compared to chlorinedioxide based rinse when both rinses were used twice a day for 60 seconds over a 6-week period. Zinc containing chewing gum has been shown to reduce oral malodor.
