Every day, patients concerned with their breath approach us.
It has been shown that a gram-negative bacterium creates volatile sulfur compounds that causes oral malodor.
We have researched the best available products and techniques to eliminate the source ..... gram-negative bacteria.
There are numerous over the counter products available which dental research has shown to be ineffective as well as potentially dangerous. Most include alcohol, which in fact can dehydrate oral soft tissue, cause irritation, and reduce salivary flow and actually increase bad breath. In addition, mouthwashes that contain more that 25‰ alcohol can increase the risk of oral and pharyngeal cancers by about 50‰. Choosing among the multitude of commercially available products is mostly random, confusing and unsatisfying.
It is not our intention to become a pharmacy but we feel that our patients are entitled to what research has shown to be the most effective and safe alcohol free products and the correct techniques to use these them.
People will always use mouthwashes, toothbrushes and other oral aids so. Our hygiene department will be pleased to advise and instruct you.
