Breath Rx Products

It is estimated that forty million Americans suffer from bad breath that never goes away.  The medical term for this condition is halitosis.  Surprisingly, most people with halitosis are not aware of their problem breath.  That is because our sense of smell has an amazing ability to adjust to odors.  Unfortunately, there is no cure for 90% of oral halitosis.  It requires long-term control and management.  The Breath Rx Breath Management System was developed to make long-term treatment easy, convenient, and effective.  It is a comprehensive, total breath management system that puts you in control of your own fresh breath. 

Most people think that bad breath is a result of activity in their stomachs, but that is only part of the story.  The actual odor of halitosis is generated by bacteria that thrive under the gums, in and around the teeth, and on the surface of the tongue.  When left untreated, these bacteria create volatile sulfur compounds that have a characteristic rotten egg smell.  Each of the unique Breath Rx products contains Zytex.  Zytex first neutralizes volative sulfur compounds that are the main cause of bad breath.  Next, Zytex kills the gram-negative bacteria responsible for production of the volatile sulfur compounds. 

Most over-the-counter mouthwashes mask bad breath, but few are effective after a few hours.  Most of these mouthwashes contain alcohol that dries soft oral tissue and ultimately leads to even faster formation of odor causing bacteria.  Mouthwashes that contain more than 25% alcohol can also increase the risk of oral and pharyngeal cancers by about 50%.  Breath Rx is 100% alcohol-free, so you can avoid that risk.  Breath Rx will outperform other products that only mask odor because it eliminates the cause and neutralizes the resulting odors of halitosis.  If you would like more information about Breath Rx products, please do not hesitate to call our office.
