Halitosis: Blitz bacteria to get rid of bad breath
Bad breath is everywhere: home, school and office, yet it remains the proverbial 2,000-pound gorilla unacknowledged in the room.
Billions of dollars are spent on toothpaste, mouthwash, mints and gums to mask or extinguish this social plague, which claims 12-year-olds, menopausal women and octogenarians among its victims. But don’t expect the subject to come up in conversation.
… … …
Katz, with dental and bacteriology degrees from the University of California, Los Angeles, has turned a family emergency into a successful second career, trying to sweeten the smell of the planet one mouth at a time. After working in the 1990s with chemical giant DuPont to perfect an oral rinse and toothpaste to attack the main cause of bad breath sulphur-producing bacteria in the mouth the TheraBreath products are now available in Canada.
“It attacks the bacteria, which produce the sulphur compounds,'’ claimed Katz of clinical trials that repeatedly showed a 98 per cent elimination rate of the compounds.
Katz’ bad breath blitz began, ironically enough for a dentist, not with a patient, but when his then 13-year-daughter came home in tears after being told by schoolmates that her breath was bad.
