Bad Breath - Are You Guilty?

http://oxyfresh.com/research/images/bad-breath4.jpg

Problem: Bad Breath 

Believe me when I say there are many people who have bad breath. Bad breath can be socially awkward, but is also a warning sign of more serious problems. 

Experts say that the strong odor of bad breath is hydrogen sulfide gas, the same gas used in chemical warfare during WWII.  I can be hazardous to your health to breath that 24/7. 

Causes:  

Of course, bad breath can be caused by the foods you eat.  Food left on your between teeth, on your gums and tongue for a long time can ferment giving off a foul odor.  Smoking and other forms of tobacco are also obvious causes.  

Tooth decay and gum disease can also lead to conditions where odors are a result. 

I have often been heard to say, “Bad breath is better than no breath at all!”   

Let’s not give in to bad breath!

  •  Bad Breath: I personally use over-the counter Smart Mouth -12 hour mouth rinse.  We have samples of this product in our office.

Gum Disease = Inflammation = Alzheimer's Disease

Did you know that there is evidence linking the increased likelihood of developing Alzheimer's if you have gum disease?

Dental researches at NYU have found long-term evidence that supports this claim. Dr. Angela Kamer, Assistant Professor of Peridontology & Implant dentistry says, "The research suggests that cognitively normal subjects with periodontal inflammation are at an increased risk of lower cognitive function compared to cognitively normal subjects with little or no periodontal inflammation."

So what can you do about this? Inflammation in your gums is treatable. Dr. Clark has a revolutionary laser treatment that not only eliminates gum disease, but also strengthens and rebuilds gum tissue. This procedure saves teeth, and can save yourself from the potential of increased risk for Alzheimer's.
