Did you know these?

Hi Aydinmur,
When you say talk about breath odour v halitosis do you mean breath odour to be transient and caused by external factors..ie: cigarettes, onions etc?

Chewing Gum causes halitosis...this is interesting....would you mind elaborating on this..as a great many of us rely on gum to mask the bad odour

Thanks

[Hooch]

Thank you Murat...your input on this forum is invaluable

THanks. If you don't mind, I'd like to know what you think about the use of CHLORHEXIDINE for tongue related halitosis.

THanks. If you don't mind, I'd like to know what you think about the use of CHLORHEXIDINE for tongue related halitosis.

There are 2 problems with chlorohexidine (chx):

(1) We can not use chx for more than 1 week. Because of:
- (a) It causes brown dicoloration of mucosa or teeth
- (b) Bacterial patern changes, yeasts invade the mouth

(2) There is not good formulation for chx rinse. Many of chx rinses ufortunately contain alcohol.

You know, if alcohol enters a mouth , it exactly smells bad. In my country there are 24 of chx containing rinses. One of 24 is alcohol free.

By the way, There is a popular rinse over the world that contains cetylpyridinium + domiphen bromur + alcohol. Despite good and synergic antiseptics present, this formulation has no effect on halitosis because of alcohol.

Summary: Use alcohol free chx rinses for 1 week is useful for Type 1 halitosis.

Dear Murat
Thanks. Can I please ask if chlorhexidine digluconate are useful ingredients in a mouthwash for eradicating or lessening bad breath, especially relating to Type 1 cases. Many Thanks

hello everyone!

i recently found a (n unfortunately german) study in which was shown that there's no difference in effects of two mouthwashes, one containing alcohol and one not. The active ingredients were 0,05 % Cetylpyridiniumchloride (CPC) and 0,1 % Zincchloride.

Both mouthwashes worked well, decreased in the same amount measured sulphur-compounds. Alcohol made no difference! I think thats quite interesting...

Did you know VSC and malodor levels were decreased by 85% in the presence of 2% coffee in vitro. (Y Gov, 2010)

interesting..

Hm yeah i think i read on this forum or another site that chewing a coffee bean worked for someone.

How do you measure VSC levels in a test tube Murat?

I wonder if it applies to decaffeinated coffee as well.

Coffe is terrible for BB type III suffers like me.


Fluids from your stomach will end up on your throat and mouth exacerbating BB.

Please, BB type-III suffers do not try it.

Its true as far as I know all bad smell come from bacteria,they feed and poop just as we eat and poop,only they do it in our bodies,the smell they produce is the smell they produce,different foods make for different smells,as food is in the mouth these bacteria are having lunch and pooping and peeing there,they do not go to the bath room,they just go where they are. so its the poop and pee of bacteria, eating peppermint helps to keep their numbers down,because it keeps them from being able to absorb iron,and they need iron to reproduce of spring of themselves. hope this information is of help Mike
