Quick Solutions To Prevent Bad Breath For a Valentines Day Kiss
Free samples help maintain fresh breath
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB via PR Web
Direct) February 14, 2005 -- Based on an informal survey performed at the
California Breath Clinics, there will be an estimated 289% increase in kissing
on Valentines Day. That’s a lot of extra mouth-to-mouth contact! Of course one
of the biggest hindrances to a successful Valentines Day kiss is also one of the
most embarrassing – bad breath
Although some conditions can be worse than
others, just about everybody experiences bad breath or halitosis at one time or
another. Most dentists agree that the best way to prevent halitosis is to use a
non-SLS toothpaste and non-alcohol mouthwash, or better yet, an oral solution
that contains chlorine dioxide. But sometimes that’s not convenient – especially
at the end of a Valentines Day Dinner before the good-night kiss.
Dr.
Harold Katz from the California Breath Clinics recommends one of a variety of
‘On-the-go’ breath fresheners designed to immediately freshen breath and
neutralize odors.
“The big problem with most ‘quick’ breath fresheners is
that they attempt to cover-up or mask odors instead of neutralizing them” Katz
says. “On the surface you may taste mint, but when it comes right down to it the
breath problem still exists and will most likely resurface after a short period
of time”.
Katz also recommends staying away from any mint, gum, or breath
freshener that contains sugar or alcohol. “Sugar is actually a food source for
the anaerobic bacteria that cause bad breath. When you eat a sugary breath mint
you’re actually adding fuel to the fire!”
“Also, alcohol has a drying
effect on the mouth, and should be avoided as much as possible since a dry mouth
facilitates bad breath.” Katz adds. “If you do have a couple of alcoholic
drinks, make sure you keep an effective On-The-Go breath freshener
handy.”
In addition to his clinical practice of treating patients with
chronic halitosis, Katz and his associates have developed their own line of
effective, clinical On-The-Go breath fresheners in the form of chewing gum,
breath mints, and breathstrips that the average person can use to help combat
halitosis.
