Gum as a mirror of our entire health?

Gum as a mirror of our entire health? YES AND NO! Again and again you read scientific and non scientific articles about vitamin deficiency and it´s consequences. As a result some people take homeopathic medicine-a mistake most of the time! – 99% of gum diseases are attributed to plaque and not to a vitamin deficiency -in industrial countries! [...]

Parodontitis-oral rinse-useful?

Is an oral rinse useful for parodontitis? YES! An oral rinse is a useful purchase, unfortunately some doctors think it is not useful-with the argument that bacteria rinse into pockets. That´s nonsense, cause first of all bacteria only move due to extensions and second bacteria are harmless at their own. Bacteria only cause parodontitis and/or cavity in the mature plaque. You only remove [...]

Parodontitis-saliva test–useful?

Parodontitis-saliva test? Yes and no! The last article was about lasers, now we are talking about the next nonsense: the saliva test.

Parodontitis-usage of lasers–useful?

Parodontitis-usage of lasers–useful? Unfortunately parodontitis is still treated with lasers although it is proven unsuccessful.

Getting rid of bad breath

Posted by Dental News Team am 20, Nov - 2009

general topics

Mouthwash, disinfectant rinses, Odol, Meridol and chewing gum can’t really get rid of bad breath forever !

First, you have to figure out whether you are dealing with a case of bad breath coming from the mouth (foetor ex ore) or the respiratory tract (halitosis)!

A bad smell coming from the respiratory tract (halitosis) may be caused by illnesses of the

lungs
esophagus
stomach
liver
or systemic illnesses such as Diabetes Mellitus

Mouthwash, even if it is the „best on the market“ won’t help at all. You need to treat the causes, the diabetes or the stomach ulcer etc.
-

If the smell is coming from your mouth (foetor ex ore), mouthwash can only cover this up for a while, because this is simply a symptom, while the smell may actually be caused by

parodontitis
loose crown edges
loose fillings
cavities
tonsils
tumors
infected sinuses

Once a diagnosis has been made, the next step is treating the cause, the symptom of „bad breath“ will then go away automatically.

A good dentist knows about these factors, mouthwash only empties out your pocketbook but does not ultimately solve your problem!
