How to Control Halitosis or Bad Breath
People use many different products to get rid of bad breath and to fresher their mouth. There are many treatments claiming to "cure bad breath", but buyer beware, because some of them may be doing more harm than good. Many products just mask the odor and are help for very-short time at best. Breath strips, breath sprays, mints and gums provide instant freshness, but they just mask the odor and provide flavor, they don't kill the germs.
Mouthwashes do much better job, but there is big difference in quality and their power to eliminate bacteria causing bad breath.
Most basic mouthwashes are alcohol based and they do the job and kill the germs, but not all of them. They eliminate bad breath for very short time when you rinse with them and then germs grow quickly back.
Mouthwashes with oxidizers are better odor eliminators than the ones with alcohol, but they also don't do anything to stop the germs causing bad breath, so they also work short term. The good odor eliminators and preventors are mouthwashes with new technology to eliminate existing bad breath when you rinse and at the same time prevent bad breath from recurring.
There are also some promising natural treatments for halitosis like OraMD® (by Trusted Health Products) and HaliTonic™ for Bad Breath (by Native Remedies). We like and recommend you to try both products, and yes they are good support for natural oral health. They are much healthier than standard oral care products on the market today and may help you to reduce periodontal inflammation and temporarily relive halitosis, but they are not miracle cure for bad breath.
