5 MYTHS ABOUT Bad Breath

August 6 is National Fresh Breath Day. How fresh is your breath?

1. Bad breath comes from the foods we eat

While onions and garlic may leave behind an offensive odor, this is only temporary. There are no foods that can be contributed to the bad breath that plagues nearly 40 million people. This condition and distinct malodor is linked to elevated levels of anaerobic, sulfur-producing bacteria (VSCs) which typically accumulate on the rough surface on the back of the tongue. So, continue to enjoy your spicy and flavorful foods ... just brush thoroughly afterward.

2. If I had bad breath, I’d know it

Ah, wouldn’t that be a relief? Not so fast, though. Research indicates we have an inability to smell our own oral malodor. This is attributed to adaptation and dulling of sensation due to continual exposure.

3. Bad breath originates from the stomach

Only on very rare occasions does bad breath result from stomach and/or digestive problems. Studies show that nearly 85 percent of malodor originates in the mouth. Those anaerobic, sulfur-producing bacteria find their way in the crevices of the soft and hard tissues of the mouth and, primarily, the surface of the tongue.

4. If I brush my teeth I will be able to eliminate bad breath problems

Unfortunately, brushing alone is not effective in eliminating the bacteria that is responsible for oral malodor. While good oral hygiene is very important for managing bacteria accumulation, the daily regimen for thorough cleansing should include proper tooth brushing, flossing and deep tongue cleaning.

5. I can rinse with a mouthwash and use breath mints to control my bad breath

While there may be many claims being made about these products, the majority are ineffective and can actually worsen the condition. Many mouthrinses and mints may work for only a few minutes, at best, by masking odor with strong flavorings. And the alcohol content in most mouthrinses (up to 27 percent) causes drying of the tissues in the mouth, allowing the odor-causing bacteria to flourish. Using a mouthrinse that is alcohol-free and contains an effective ingredient to neutralize the odor-causing bacteria will produce the safest and most desired result.
