Practical solution to the problem of bad breath (halitosis)

remya his lecture on dental
  Conference Hinman, devoted to the problem galizota, I asked the audience, the
  someone from the audience, in their opinion, unpleasant smells from the mouth. About 80% of those present
  raised their hands. I was shocked because these were people working in the dental
  clinics!

Now you can imagine why the sale of consumer goods destined
  to combat bad breath, is a business with annual turnover
  four billion dollars. There is no doubt that dentists should include treatment
  halitosis in medical plans and the work of our clinics as a whole.
  

Thank God that scientists and researchers
  conduct the study of such urgent issues as halitosis. It is known that over 90%
  sources of odors associated with the oral cavity and are the result of
  decomposition of residues of proteins by anaerobic bacteria, which leads to the formation of
  volatile sulfur compounds. As these volatile compounds usually act
  methyl mercaptan and sulfide, hydride, with the smell of "rotten eggs" or hydrogen sulfide.
  Usually, patients can accurately establish the location of the mouth, where, in their view, is
  This "flavor" because these gaseous compounds is inherent in very sharp
  smell. I have met many patients state, "Oh, that smell is coming from the gap
  between my central incisors, "or" I feel a nasty taste of the interdental
  crevices of my upper molars on both sides. " In some cases, sources
  halitosis can be in the nose, throat or stomach.
  Unfortunately, consideration of all possible causes of bad smell is out
  areas of interest in this article. It suffices to say that in most cases
  problem relates to the oral cavity, and therefore we, dentists, are
  those same experts who actually have to heal from the unpleasant
  breath.
Your

  nose is an excellent means of detecting odors, and certainly
  the most advanced instasment for the analysis of odor on the planet. Your nose can smell
  ten thousand different odors and extremely sensitive to sulfur compounds.

diagnosis of halitosis

Diagnostics bad breath - a case
  difficult but interesting. Remember to fill out a questionnaire that includes questions
  about the patient's medical history, he takes medications, diet,
  tobacco and alcohol consumption, habitual oral hygiene, including use
  any of the commercially available fabric softeners, toothpastes or bleaching agents,
  as well as any other habits of the patient.

Careful examination of the oral cavity
  - The next step in investigating the causes of halitosis. Necessary to assess the state of
  gums and the teeth and to resort to various methods of diagnosing halitosis:

1.
  Clean floss mezubnye intervals in the upper and lower molars. Through
  45-60 seconds to assess odor floss

2.
  Edit sanitary napkin back third of dorsum of tongue and in 45-60 seconds
