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.
