Extractions: NATURE CURE Halitosis Halitosis refers to bad breath which is not only a sing of ill- health but it is also a social stigma. It is common in many people at all times and in all people some of the time. Unfortunately, most people who offend in this respect are completely unaware of their problem and the discomfort they cause to others. Causes The most common cause of halitosis is bad teeth and gum conditions. Dental decay at the roots of the teeth may result in abscesses in the gums with foul-smelling, pus giving an objectionable odour to the breath. Even small holes in the teeth may provide a place where germs can multiply and release foul orders. Other causes of halitosis are any conditions of the nerves, throat, respiratory tract, or stomach which are associated with chronic infection or local upsets of one sort or another, such as chronic tonsillitis, lung diseases like chronic bronchitis and bronchiectasis, chronic gastritis and sinuses which cause a discharge at the back of the throat. Most cases of bad breath., however, are caused by gastro-intestinal disorders, intestinal sluggishness and particularly by chronic constipation. The unpleasant odour results from an exceptionally large amount of waste matter expelled through the lungs. Chewing pan and tobacco and smoking are other causes of bad breath. The diseases like anaemia may also lead to unpleasant breath.

Extractions: Halitosis - A Common Problem B ad breath can affect up to 90% of us at sometime in our lives. The severity of the problem can vary but it still remains a cause of acute embarrassment for the sufferer and an altogether unpleasant experience for other people. Like body odour, bad breath can be a serious social handicap, but it can be difficult to detect your own bad breath. B ad breath is defined as "an excess of bacteria in the mouth giving off odorous gases." A number of factors can lead to bad breath, including gum disease, insufficient saliva flow and poor dental hygiene. The Tanita Breath Alert works by measuring the level of certain gases in the breath - namely volatile sulphur compounds and hydrocarbons - which are responsible for 90% of bad breath. The handheld gadget allows the user to discretely check the level of odour in their breath, giving them the confidence to face people. T here are many ways to treat the symptoms of bad breath, including mouthwashes and mints, but it is always advisable to consult your dentist, who can identify the underlying causes and recommend an effective course of treatment.

It has broken up marriages and led to people being socially isolated. Take my dietary and lifestyle advice to deal with the problem at its source... Diagnosis Sometimes the breath odours can be smelt several yards away because of their potency. In most cases, the odours come from the upper part of the digestive system - teeth, gums, mouth, gullet and stomach. In others, the problem originates in the respiratory tract which means the sinuses and bronchial tract. The lining of the mouth has a great capacity to trap odours and retain them. This is why the smell of onions, garlic, alcohol, nicotine and other bad smells remains in the cavity for a long time. Basically there are two types of chemical processes that cause odours to be emitted. Firstly, what you might call home brewing: fermentation caused by the action of yeast or fungus on carbohydrates producing different alcohols in your body. If you think of the unattractive smell of beer being brewed, you can understand the process. The second is putrefaction - in other words, rotting - caused by the action of bacteria on protein that results in the release of repulsive-smelling gases. Two of the most common are ammonia compounds that smell like public lavatories and hydrogen sulphide, which resembles rotten egg. If protein-rich tissues in the gums or bronchial tract start decaying, they can produce very strong odours. In fact, testing for traces of these gases is a standard medical test for the presence of Helicobacter pylori (a major cause of gastritis and stomach ulcers) in the stomach. Gums and teeth trap a lot of food particles and bacteria have a great time feeding on these.

Hiccup Halitosis An unpleasant odor to the breath. Halitosis may be produced from ingested or inhaled substances that are excreted in part by the lungs, from gingival or dental disease, or from fermentation of food particles in the mouth. It may result from systemic disease (eg, hepatic encephalopathy, diabetic acidosis, infectious or neoplastic disease of the respiratory tract). Although foul eructations may occur with gastric retention or gastric and esophageal tumors, GI disorders do not generally cause halitosis because the esophagus is normally collapsed and separate from the airway; it is a fallacy that breath odor reflects the state of digestion and bowel function. PSYCHOGENIC HALITOSIS A complaint of bad breath, possibly based on psychologic factors, that others do not perceive. Psychogenic halitosis may occur as a symptom in various psychologic disorders. It may also be associated with anxiety. It may be reported by the hypochondriacal patient who commonly amplifies normal body sensations. At times, the complaint may reflect a serious thought disorder (eg, somatic delusion). An obsessional patient may have a pervading sense of uncleanliness, or a paranoid patient may have the delusion that his organs are rotting.

http://www.umm.edu/oralhealth/halito.htm

Extractions: The things you eat contribute largely to your oral health care, including your breath. Items such as garlic and onions, or any food, are absorbed into the bloodstream, become transferred into the lungs, and become expelled in the air you breathe. Until that food becomes eliminated by the body, the potential for it affecting a person's breath is present. poor oral health care Without proper and consistent brushing and flossing, and routine examinations by your dentist, food remains in the mouth, which is a breeding ground for bacteria, which, in turn, causes odorous breath. Food that is allowed to collect on the teeth, gums, and tongue may cause the gums to rot, which causes an unpleasant odor and taste in the mouth.

Extractions: Traveler's Breath? Home Consumer Information Oral Health Topics Halitosis More than 90 million people suffer from chronic halitosis or bad breath. In most cases it originates from the gums and tongue. The odor is caused by bacteria from the decay of food particles, other debris in your mouth, and poor oral hygiene. The decay and debris produce a sulfur compound that causes the unpleasant odor. What causes bad breath and what can be done about it? Bad breath is primarily caused by poor oral hygiene, but can also can be caused by retained food particles or gum disease. Proper brushing including brushing the tongue, cheeks, and the roof of the mouth will remove bacteria and food particles. Flossing removes accumulated bacteria, plaque and food that may be trapped between teeth. Mouth rinses are effective in temporary relief of bad breath. Consult your dentist and/or physician if the condition persists. Does bad breath come from other sources than the mouth? Bad breath also may occur in people who have a medical infection, gum disease, diabetes, kidney failure, or a liver malfunction. Xerostomia (dry mouth) and tobacco also contribute to this problem. Cancer patients who undergo radiation therapy may experience dry mouth. Even stress, dieting, snoring, age and hormonal changes can have an effect on your breath. An odor that comes from the back of your tongue may indicate post-nasal drip. This is where the mucus secretion, which comes from the nose and moves down your throat, gets stuck on the tongue and causes an odor. Bad breath originating in the stomach, however, is considered to be extremely rare.

Extractions: As seen on : It's no one's fault they have halitosis . In fact, most people with halitosis are so concerned about it that they tend to have far better oral hygiene practices than the average person. It's too bad, but it's true that you cannot smell your own breath. So, you must rely on others to let you know if you have a problem. This generally presents an embarrassing situation for both you and the one you choose to ask. If you know a child, ask him... children are notoriously forthright! Often you can sense you have bad breath by the reactions of those around you. If somebody backs away from you when you're talking or turns his head, it's likely you have halitosis. A simple test you can do privately: using white, unflavored, thick dental floss, floss between a few upper and a few lower back teeth for a few seconds in each spot. After one minute, smell the floss for odor. Another test is to wipe your tongue as far back as you can get with a piece of gauze. After a few wipes, wait one minute and smell the gauze. Halitosis should not be embarrassing to deal with since NOW there is a halitosis treatment and cure that really works. Be a friend . . . Tell a friend
Chlorine Dioxide - The Halitosis Eliminator
halitosis. Home. These are the precursors to the volatile sulfur compunds (VSCs),hydrogen sulfide and methyl mercaptan, which are the CAUSE of halitosis.
http://www.arizonabreath.com/chlorine-dioxide.phtml

Extractions: As seen on : Stabilized chlorine dioxide is the active ingredient in the dental products, CloSYSII mouthwash and CloSYSII toothpaste. Chlorine dioxide is ClO2 gas in aqueous solution. It has been used for more than 50 years as a drinking water disinfectant and is safe. Stabilized Chlorine dioxide destroys organic debris and kills harmful oral pathogens, which cause damage and destruction to tissues in the mouth. If these antigens are left untreated, they cause cavities and eventually gum disease and tooth loss. Recent research has shown an association between gum disease and heart disease, diabetes and premature babies. Stabilized chlorine dioxide mouthwash and toothpaste are useful in fighting gum disease. Chlorine dioxide breaks the valence bonds around the sulfur atom and oxidatively consumes methionine and cysteine. These are the precursors to the volatile sulfur compunds (VSCs), hydrogen sulfide and methyl mercaptan, which are the CAUSE of halitosis. In other words, stabilized ClO2 stops these VSCs from being formed in the mouth by destroying them at the molecular level - not just covering them up. It also acts as an oxidizing agent, NOT a chlorinating agent, so it doesn't have the harmful effects that chlorine does. It goes to the CAUSE of the problem by penetrating the cell wall and reacting with amino acids to kill the offending organism.

It's a shame when a normal curiosity about other people's lives degenerates into such a noxious parade of vapid bimbos and boorish beefcake as displayed recently on Temptation Island , but it's hardly surprising; anything human can (and will) be perverted. And there are few inclinations as unquestionably human as the desire to reveal and revel in the private (and preferably unseemly) details of other people's lives.

http://www.mycustompak.com/healthNotes/Concern/Halitosis.htm

Extractions: Halitosis Also indexed as: Bad Breath Halitosis is the technical term for bad breath, a condition estimated to affect 50 to 65% of the population. Up to 90% of cases are thought to originate from sources in the mouth, including poor oral hygiene, periodontal disease , coating on the tongue, impacted food, faulty dental restorations, and throat infections. The remaining 10% are due to systemic disorders, such as peptic ulcer (when associated with infection), lung infections (bad breath can be the first sign in some cases), liver or kidney disease, diabetes mellitus cancer In most cases, bad breath in the mouth can be traced to sulfur gases produced by bacteria in the mouth. Factors that support the growth of these bacteria will predispose a person to halitosis. Examples include accumulation of food within pockets around the teeth, among the bumps at the back of the tongue, or in small pockets in the tonsils; sloughed cells from the mouth; and diminished saliva flow. Mucus in the throat or sinuses can also serve as a breeding ground for bacteria. Conditions are most favorable for odor production during the night and between meals. Although bad breath primarily represents a source of embarrassment or annoyance, research has shown that the sulfur gases most responsible for halitosis (hydrogen sulfide and methyl mercaptan) are also potentially damaging to the tissues in the mouth, and can lead to

Extractions: Halitosis - Treating Bad Breath First of all, thorough brushing to remove food particles is a daily necessity. Regular check-ups to correct problem areas: gum disease, carious teeth, faulty restorations, overhanging fillings, leaking crowns, all of which cause food traps, is a must. For those over thirty, the odor of periodontal disease is a particularly common cause of halitosis and one which is easily treated. Having made certain that your physical oral condition is as pristine as possible by brushing and flossing and proper diet and all the other good things, your method of attack is as follows. Chew sugarless gum or suck on sugarless lozenges to increase saliva flow. Saliva is the mouths natural mouthwash; it has antibiotic elements in it which reduce the numbers of bacteria in the mouth. Sugarless gum or candy is an absolute must. Ive seen horrible cases of decay and gum disease arise from the habit of frequently eating sugar containing foods. Some people learn how to milk the salivary glands by sucking on the cheeks or tongue. When saliva production diminishes, keep the mouth wet with a liberal intake of water. Experts advise drinking eight glasses of water a day for basic metabolic function, and it seems that keeping the mouth moist is a good way of keeping the bacterial flora of the mouth under control. Hold the water in the mouth as long as possible-minimum of twenty seconds, and swish it around to loosen food particles and other bits of debris that bacteria feed upon. The longer the water remains in the mouth the better.

Extractions: When should I see my dentist about bad breath? Do you fear your breath is strong enough to scare small children? You might be mistaken. People are notoriously inept at assessing the odor of their own exhalations. A breath-mint addict who constantly worries about his breath may never have had a problem. At the same time, a person with truly noxious breath may be baffled when friends start offering mints or backing away during a conversation. If you're worried about your breath, get a second opinion: Ask a close friend or loved one if your breath is up to par, and urge them to be honest. If the news isn't good, don't panic. Bad breath doesn't have to be permanent. By taking a few simple steps, you can freshen your breath and win back your confidence. Chief cause of bad breath: Bacteria Bad breath, also known as halitosis, may go far beyond a tinge of garlic or onions. Like other types of body odor (the aroma of sweaty feet, for instance), many forms of halitosis are the handiwork of bacteria. When the germs that live in the mouth break down food particles and other debris, they often foul the air with highly pungent chemicals.

http://www.floss.com/pethalitosis.htm

Extractions: Halitosis Halitosis, also called bad breath, foul breath, malodor, foetor ex ore, and fetor oris is defined as an offensive odor emanating from the oral cavity. Bad breath is a common pet odor complaint. Causes may be oral (most common) or extraoral (rare). The sour milk odor accompanying periodontal disease may result from the bacterial population associated with plaque, calculus, unhealthy tissues, decomposing food particles retained within the oral cavity, or the rotten meat odor emanating from tissue necrosis. Contrary to common belief, neither normal lung air or stomach aroma contributes to halitosis. The most common cause of halitosis is periodontal disease caused by plaque (bacteria). Bacteria is attracted to the pellicle (an acellular film formed from the precipitation of salivary glycoproteins). In the freshly cleaned and polished tooth a glycoprotein layer forms over the tooth as soon as the patient starts to salivate. Bacteria attaches to the pellicle within 6-8 hours. Within days, the plaque becomes mineralized producing calculus. As plaque ages and gingivitis develops into periodontitis (bone loss), the bacterial flora changes from a predominantly non-motile gram-positive aerobic coccoid flora to a more motile, gram-negative anaerobic population including: Bacteroides, Fusobacterium, and Actinomyces species. Most patients suffering from halitosis have oral causes, the remaining are caused by, dermatologic, metabolic, respiratory, or gastrointestinal disease.
