Bad Breath is very closely related to post
nasal drip, excess mucus, sinus problems, your tonsils, and
tonsiloliths.
If you recall from my book
'The Bad Breath Bible',
remember that
the bacteria which cause bad breath and
sour/bitter/metallic tastes are anaerobic (live without
oxygen). Their goal in life is to break down the proteins
in foods that we eat. However, under certain conditions,
they will also start to break down the proteins found in
mucus and phlegm. |
 |
|
|
| |
Therefore, those
people who suffer from post nasal drip, sinus problems, and
other such ailments are more prone to bad breath and lousy
tastes because the bacteria use the mucus as a food
source and start to extract sulfur compounds from the amino
acids that make up the proteins found in all this excess mucus. |
|
| |
Scientifically, the anaerobic bacteria that cause bad breath
"love" the amino acids Cysteine and Methionine, which are the
building blocks of the proteins that are found in mucus (and
phlegm) and in dairy foods, too. In fact, many people notice
that when they drink too much milk or eat too much cheese they
end up with more mucous or phlegm in their throat
(see
my article on Foods that may cause bad breath).
This is a natural reaction for many
people and unfortunately, ends up causing more bad breath and
lousy taste. |
|
| |
If you still have your tonsils, you may be harboring a higher
number of the bacteria which can lead to an "interesting" and
very often misunderstood phenomenon, called TONSILOLITHS.
Literally translated, they are "tonsil stones" produced by the
conglomeration of mucus draining down the back of the throat and
the volatile sulfur compounds created by the bacteria which
easily end up in the "nooks and crannies" of the tonsils, every
time one swallows. I can't tell you how many stories I've heard
from my patients who asked their dentist what these objects
were, and more often than not the answer was 'food particles'.
This couldn't be further from the truth! For more information,
see my article about Tonsil Stones. |

If you suffer from excess mucus, sinus congestion and post
nasal drip there are essentially only a few different routes
that you can take: |
|
| |
- Use medication and or drugs to dry up the sinuses and
prevent mucus buildup - all the while being careful to avoid a
dry mouth, a likely side-effect of virtually all
antihistamines. Dry mouth is the most common initiator of bad
breath because it mimics an anaerobic environment, perfect for
the "bugs" to pump out Volatile Sulfur Compounds.
You should be
careful about using any antihistamine too frequently - many
are habit forming!
- Use
TheraBreath Nasal Sinus Formula.
By squeezing 3-4 drops
into each nostril (and then lightly inhaling to move the
potent formula through the sinus) twice daily, most people can
finally experience that fresh breath and taste feeling by
eliminating the production of sulfur compounds created by the
reaction of mucus and the anaerobic sulfur producing bacteria…
- For chronic sinus problems, many patients will find relief
by using the
Hydropulse®
(an amazingly effective Nasal-Sinus Irrigator,
designed by an Ear Nose & Throat specialist) to flush the
sinuses. (Works even better when you add just 2-3 drops of
AktivOxigen serum into the trough before each use).
- Minimize the amount of post-nasal drip in your throat and
sinuses, and eliminate the #1 side effect of excess mucus (Bad
Breath!) by using
oxygenating oral care products, such as TheraBreath,
TheraBreath PLUS, AktivOxigen, PerioTherapy, and TheraBrite.
|
|
| |
Medication and Drugs MAY help Prevent Post-Nasal
Drip, But At What Cost? |
|
| |
There are dozens of different over-the counter nasal
decongestants and antihistamines you can use to help relieve
congestion and dry up excess mucus, and some of them are very
good at what they claim… but mostly they are TOO GOOD!
They create an extremely dry mouth, which exacerbates bad breath.
And even in cases where the dry mouth side effect is minimal,
when you stop taking that medication the problem comes back, and
almost always with a vengeance! This is because in some cases,
your body will actually develop a resistance to any
antihistamines or nasal decongestants, especially nasal sprays
(be careful, because many sprays are habit forming - but NOT
TheraBreath formulas!) |
|
| |
Suffice it to say, this should NOT be an option that you pursue. |
|
| |
Nasal Irrigation
is probably the most effective method of eliminating
post-nasal drip and helping to control sinus infections.
The Hydro Pulse Sinus Irrigator is an FDA registered device
supported by over 37 published medical reports. The unique
pulsatile irrigation of the Hydro Pulse helps to restore
ciliary function and relieve post nasal drip. A short period
of regular use can stimulate the cilia (the tiny hair-like
fibers in the nasal sinus passages) to restore their natural
protective "sweeping & cleansing" action.
When you feel a sinus condition come on, or feel that you
have
persistent post-nasal drip and excess mucus, consistent daily
use for 10 days should result in a clearing of the condition.
For best results, we recommend a combination of this easy-to-use
home instrument with an oxygenating solution such as AktivOxigen
serum. |

Stop Bad Breath
Associated with Post-Nasal Drip, Excess Mucus, and Sinus
Problems |
|
| |
For people who don't really have sinus problems, just "off and
on" or seasonal post-nasal drip, then an alternative (and
better) solution might be to minimize the amount of excess mucus
in the back of the throat and more importantly to make sure you
neutralize the odor caused by this excess mucus. |
|
| |
You see, the proteins in mucus make an excellent food source for
the anaerobic bacteria that cause bad breath. The bacteria feed
off the amino acids, Methionine and Cysteine, and create
extremely odorous and lousy-tasting Volatile Sulfur Compounds as
by-products, which are the odors and lousy tastes found in the
medical condition halitosis, which YOU (or maybe everyone around
you) more commonly knows as bad breath. |
|
| |
There are three key formulas that most of my patients find
extremely effective at neutralizing the odor caused by
post-nasal drip: |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Keep in mind that we always recommend using an
oxygenating oral rinse and toothpaste such as TheraBreath as
the primary ingredients of any breath treatment program |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Nasal-Sinus
Drops Eliminate Odor From The Sinuses |
|
| |
These drops are highly effective at cleansing the sinuses (a
very hard-to-reach area) of the volatile sulfur compounds that
cause bad breath. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Nasal-Sinus Drops
Instructions for Use: |
|
| |
- Blow nose before use
- Tilt back head and gently press sides of dropper
bottle to release 3-4 drops into each nostril
- Allow nasal-sinus drops to slowly run back through
your sinuses and down the back of your throat
- *Important* - Allow drops to remain in the
sinus cavity for at least 1-2 minutes. So, do not blow
nose for at least that length of time.
|

AktivOxigen
Tablets Create an Unflavored Oral Rinse to Cleanse the Back of
the Throat |
|
| |
These tablets make an unflavored oral rinse that you can
actually swallow - this gets much deeper down in the throat than
just regular rinsing, and it will actually help break down
post-nasal drip congestion and excess mucus in the throat. |
|
| |
AktivOxigen Tablets
Instructions for Use: |
|
| |
- Dissolve 1 or 2 tablets (creates a double-strength
formula) in the 8 Ounce Mixing Bottle. Be sure to use the
opaque bottle that comes with the system otherwise the
solution will lose its potency.
- Shake well for 10-20 seconds
- Before bedtime, tilt your head back and swallow 1 or 2
capfuls of the solution. Let it slowly run over your
throat and tonsil area for maximum effectiveness.
- *Important* - Do not drink or eat anything for 5
minutes after using the AktivOxigen solution. Many of our
patients say that they get the best results when they use
it right before they leave the house in the morning and
again, as the last thing they do before they go to sleep.
- Keep cap tightly closed after use

TheraBreath
Extinguisher Spray With It's Patented 6.9cm Spray Nozzle Reaches
The Back of the Tongue Where Few Other Sprays Can Reach |
|
| |
The Extinguisher Spray has been extremely popular - its patented
6.9 cm Extinguisher Nozzle applicator is very effective at
applying the formulas to the back of the throat and tonsils,
which is a very common problem area for people with post nasal
drip and excess mucus. (The Extinguisher Spray has been selling
out at Walgreens, but they are back in stock. They are now also
available at Longs Drug Stores and Discount Drug Mart (in Ohio)
and will be coming later this summer to Eckerd and Genovese. |
|
| |
Extinguisher Spray
Instructions for Use: |
|
| |
- Shake well before use
- Place the nozzle on the back of your tongue (so that
it holds down your tongue) pointing to the very back of
your throat and tonsil area
- Dispense 2-3 sprays or until you feel that the entire
area is covered.
- Use as often as necessary to maintain a 'fresh' oral
environment

When I first started treating my own daughter's breath
problem
10 years ago, I never dreamed that I would end up helping so
many people all over the world who had the same problem, which
my fellow dentists ignored or misdiagnosed for far too long. It
was only a few years into our clinical therapy that I realized
that "Every case of bad breath is different and that there is no
such thing as one formula to treat every case of halitosis." |
|
| |
We've been here for the last 10 years to help our patients
prevent bad breath, sinus congestion, and lousy tastes, and
we'll be here for many more years to come. If there is
anythingwe can do to help, please don't hesitate to contact us -
that's why we're here! |
