Have you used it ?. The problem with it is it has only 2 lights , just enough for the gums . The flashlight I order has 21 led and cover a larger area on the tongue , especially the back of the tongue

Then I think it would be a good idea to let us know the brand of the light you ordered. Dont you think that would be helpful

Yes please let us know that would be great, and hopefully it might have some positive results for us.

I find it odd sadman isnt posting info about this blue light product
Really, we would like to know
There are plenty of blue led lights, but I am not finding any specifically that you put in your whloe mouth

Do those blue light teeth-whitening things work using similar principles?
Maybe if the light is the right wavelength a good quality version could be modified and someone could do some tests with it?
Blue LEDs havent been around for long so this is quite hopeful as a way of helping to control oral bacteria. You can get incredibly bright LEDs today and there are different wavelengths and power intensities.
If this was me a few years ago I would have been making my own for sure.

This probably has nothing to do with it, but as far as I know, sunlight whitens/bleaches because of the UV. Maybe this and the whitening things work in similar way to UV light. Actually I wonder if anyone has ever tried a low power short-duration UV light inside the mouth before?
UV light is used for sterilizing water and you can get UV kits for aquariums for controlling harmful bacteria and parasites/fungi etc.

I don't know if you read my other posts about Blue light . UV light is harmful to tissue and can not be used for human . Blue light with a wavelength of 450nm has been proven to kill anaerobic bacteria in the mouth and even MRSA .I got the light two days ago and so far so good , my breath has never been this fresh before . I don't want to give you a false hope , so let wait for a few more days and I will have my final thought .

bit of a description in this link ^

btw, is it a temporary relief against bad breath or does it promote long term fresher breath?

The fresh breath is not temporary . It seems to last the whole day and if indeed it does ( if I can prove it by Halitometer ) , that's unbelievable . We only need to use the blue light once a day for 60-120" along with H2O2 and that's it and we are in Heaven . The principle of this treatment is that we use the blue light to kill the bad germs and the good one then will replace them and we will have a healthy normal mouth flora . Blue Light can go deep to the crevices of the tongue and kill the anaerobic bacteria living there . Let's hope that this is the cure .

google this minus the quotes:

"BLUE LED Flashlight 455 460 nM"

I ordered one from the first link for about $15. It has 21 blue LEDs.
