The primary cause of odor in the breath is sulfides produced by either grain negative bacteria or in the normal breakdown and renewal of your oral mucosa or tissue. A bi-product of the bacteria is methyl mercaptan or hydrogen sulfide gases which produce these volatile sulfide compounds or VSC. VSC are also formed in the normal cellular turnover in the mouth. When tissues are inflamed or infected a concentration of bacteria is found and the normal rate of tissue regeneration is greatly increased, thus increasing the amount of VSC present leading to malodor.

Research has also led us to believe that these vsc may have a harmful effect on the normal gum or periodontal membrane. VSC are believed to increase the permeability of this membrane to increased bacterial invasion leading to periodontal breakdown or periodontitis (pyorrhea). If we can control the level of vsc in the mouth we can not only remove mouth odor but we may be able to stop periodontal disease in its earliest stages.

The market has been flooded with numerous mouthwashes and aides for fighting bad breath. Unfortunately most of the best known mouthwashes contain a very high level of alcohol. Alcohol has a drying effect on oral ( mouth) tissue. Most people find their mouth odor to be worst in the morning upon waking up. This is also when the mouth is the driest because normal saliva flow is naturally diminished at night when the body rests. Initially, the high concentration of alcohol in mouthwashes helps to kill the bacterial concentrations but because of the drying effects, this is short lived. Under the new drier conditions, the mouth becomes a haven for new bacterial growth- and the odor returns stronger and worse than before.

Are you troubled by some of the symptoms and problems of the patients we have treated over the last three years?

Halitosis or bad breath can effect your personal life as well as your business life. Socially . do you feel inadequate ? Has it been impossible to get that second date ?

Our patients have described these feelings:

• Inadequate in social situations at work, at parties on dates.
• Salesmen have not felt confident and therefore less successful making a sale.
• Managers of all sorts not effective in their jobs delegating because at meetings everyone is focusing on the managers breath and not on the discussion.

I have saved marriages, was instrumental in getting that second date, and have helped business people be more effective and confident.

I have seen patients from all over the country because their dentists and doctors do not know how to treat this problem. Further more the advise given is wrong and many times costly.

We have had patients who were told by their dentist to just have a cleaning , brush and floss more. While that is always a good idea it will not clear up the bad breath.

Many patients have gone through sinus operations, tonsillectomies, digestive tract examinations and treatment M.R.I. x-rays etc... All without any relief

Worse yet many dentists and doctors shrug the problem away saying it is not a real problem or don't worry about it. This leaves the patient even more devastated and believe they have no where else to turn.

While we would prefer the halitosis patient to come to New York for a definitive diagnosis we understand that in some cases it is difficult to come to New York. In those cases we can ship products and instructions to them.

This product package is called OxyFresh and include a Tooth paste, Rinse, Gel and a patented oral irrigator (beneficial in reducing plaque an reducing bleeding gums), and a patented tongue cleaner.

The active ingredient in OxyFresh products is chlorine dioxide. A safe effective product essential to treating halitosis. There is also a patented oral irrigator which has been shown to reduce plaque 44% more than anything else on the market. Since bacteria and plaque are the main culprits in bad breath it is essential to reduce these in the mouth.
