The reason that taste disorders are related to Bad Breath is due
to the sulfur produced by these anaerobic bacteria, particularly
on the back (dorsum) of the tongue. Although it was extremely
difficult for us to find a direct relationship between sulfide
molecules and this area of the tongue in American Medical or
Dental textbooks, several Asian Medical texts made reference to
Sour, Bitter, and Metallic tastes associated with the rear of
the tongue. This fact is very logical, because the bacteria that
produce the Sulfur Compounds breed in the back of the tongue
which is the area susceptible to sour, bitter, and metallic
tastes. |

Neurologically, the sense of smell and the sense of taste have
two distinct physical centers in the brain, where specific
electrical impulses are received. However, they happen to be
next door neighbors. There is physical evidence which show that
the receptors for these are separate senses often intermingle
with each other. This causes some to detect a sense of odor,
even though there is none, based on a stimulation in the taste
center, and vice versa. |
|

|
|
| |
Pharmaceutical companies realized early on that it could be very
easy to "fool" the public by creating strong flavors in oral
rinses, which would then be "sensed" by the brain as if the
user's breath was fresh. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
One must understand that just as seeing and hearing are 2
different senses, and so are smelling and taste. You can have a
great minty taste in your mouth (after using Altoids, let's
say), but the odor being sensed by the person next to you at
work can be a disagreeable sulfur odor. This is true because the
sugar in those products (or the alcohol in Scope, Listerine,
etc) stimulate the bacteria to produce more sulfur compounds. |
|
| |
|
|

Some oral rinses are flavored to be "mediciny" with the distinct
purpose of creating the sense to the user that this "medicine"
flavor is actually doing something. If the product contains
alcohol, the only activity it's doing is making your breath
worse.
Therabreath Oral Rinses
are designed to fight and prevent
bad breath, not mask it. |

pH and
Tastes: |
|
| |
Sour, bitter, metallic tastes are all acidic in nature. Our
medicated products are the only ones of their type to be pH
balanced in such a manner as to neutralize more oral acids. This
is significant when attempting to raise the pH (make the
environment less acidic) and eliminate these tastes in order to
freshen the oral cavity. Your TheraBreath instructions also
include procedures to change the pH and methods to better attack
the bacteria which are normally very difficult to reach. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
For those individuals who may have a slightly more "acidic" oral
environment or saliva, here's a helpful hint: |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Sprinkle a small amount of Baking Soda on the bristles of your
dry toothbrush. Then place TheraBreath toothgel over the Baking
Soda to cover the bristles - then brush. The Baking Soda
neutralizes more of the oral acids and creates a "cleaner" taste
sensation. |
