The coatings or biofilms build up on the tongue surface, teeth, between the teeth, gum pockets, back of the throat past the gag reflex, and in the nasal passages. As all these areas are connected in bad breath or halitosis (as it is medically known). Each surface tends to give a more predominant smell as different bacteria show a different preference for the surfaces. For example, tongue bacteria tend to give more of a rotten egg smell, teeth and gum bacteria tend to give fecal smells, and nasal and throat bacteria tend to give cabbage and gasoline smells.

These three smells make up over 90% of bad breath. Therefore a successful treatment needs to address all the biofilm areas. Long term success can only be achieved by changing the bacterial balance in the mouth, throat and nose to a healthy aerobic population, and then maintaining this new population. BreezeCare and Australian Breath Clinic achieve bad breath resolution with their patented KForce K12 probiotic bacteria only available in the
KForce Breath Guard Starter Kit.

Treatment for Bad Breath
So treatment for bad breath involves a three pronged attack:

1. Change the mouth bacteria to a good probiotic bacteria that defends itself such as KForce K12 probitics. KForce K12 bacteria consume carbohydrates to prevent the breakdown to waste products such as smelly sulphur compounds. Two percent of the world's population are borne with a similar bacteria to KForce K12. The rest of us need to have a dietary supplement every day to have use of this probiotic.
2. Remove the biofilms where the bad breath bacteria live. Science has shown that bad breath bacteria do not bind to the teeth or tongue but rather to the coatings that build up on these surfaces. Further the coatings (biofilms) need to be more than 24 hours old to be able to support bad breath bacteria. This means a concerted program of biofilm removal performed every day will ensure the least amount of offensive bacteria and thus offensive smells. Remember it is not the amount of coating that builds up on your tongue and throat, but rather how old and mature the coating is.
3. Change lifestyle factors that promoted the bad breath in the first place. Pathogenic bacteria and also bad breath bacteria prefer to live in an acid mouth. So the lower the pH (more acidic) of the mouth the more bad breath bacteria. Things that stimulate acid mouth are lifestyle choices such as diet or sports drinks, coffee smoking and alcohol to name a few. The list is far longer and is explained in more detail in our treatment kits.

BreezeCare has had great success in achieving a treatment for bad breath, as we focus on all these three things. Also being backed by dentists, we are able to offer free professional advice, to help tailor a treatment specific to your needs.
