The Causes of Bad Breath
Bad Breath is a simple metabolic equation. Bacteria that already live in the mouth and throat colonise in coatings that build up daily on the tongue, teeth, gums and mucous at the back of the throat. If a coating is more than twelve hours old then the bacteria are able to break down the proteins contained in the coatings. The waste product of this bacterial breakdown is sulphur. The sulphur presents as three volatile gases that can smell as either rotten eggs, faeces, or cabbage and gasoline. Below is a table that shows the different smells of Bad Breath. Read More 
Bad Breath Diagnosis - a protocol developed by Dr Speiser
Dr Speiser at the BreezeCare Breath Clinic uses a clinically proven protocol to achieve a proper diagnosis of Halitosis. We use a combination of Gas Chromatography combined with results from an in depth lifestyle quiz, as well as a clinical dental examination and radiographs to arrive at our cause and bad breath diagnosis.

Bad Breath Treatment using KForce clinically proven products
Dr Speiser was one of the first researchers to determine that antiseptic mouthwash would not treat bad breath effectively. This is because we all need bacteria in our mouths as they serve a purpose. However these bacteria can get out of Balance. So to treat Bad Breath it is important to balance the mouth with healthy probiotics and also enable the mouth to remain clean. Read More
The Smells of Bad Breath
Bad Breath is the waste product from thousands of bacteria that inhabit our mouths. To date over 800 species of bacteria are believed to live in the oral cavity but we have not come close to identifying most of them. All our mouth bacteria serve a purpose, some are used to aid digestion, some bacteria help defend the mouth against illness. In a bad breath scenario, a certain type of bacteria that feed off proteins and are anaerobic in nature release waste products called "Volatile Sulphur Compounds" into the mouth as they go about their lives. This usually happens because the environment of your mouth has been somehow changed so that it enhances the support of these smell making bacteria over and above the good neutral bacteria. Read More
Symptoms of Bad Breath
Bad Breath is caused by mouth bacteria invading coatings or biofilms that build up on the tongue teeth and nasal passages over a 24 hour period. These bacteria break down proteins that we provide to them through lifestyle choices. The waste product from the bacteria are smelly Volatile Sulphur Compounds (VSCs). Initially these Volatile Sulphur Compounds will dissolve into the mouth saliva and simply cause a bad or sour taste. However once the saliva becomes saturated, or should a dryness of the mouth occur, then the VSCs will evaporate into the mouth and be emitted as the smells of bad breath. The person will not be able to smell this offensive odour due to acclimatisation. Also should the volatile compounds be emitted through the nose then they will still smell as bad breath but the person can then smell their own bad breath. Read More
Morning Breath - what is it and how to treat it
Morning Breath is that horrible bad taste or smell that you wake with. You may notice it on yourself or your partner. It is also obvious after any extended period of sleep, it doesn't have to only be in the morning. If you consume alcohol the night before and then go to sleep, you will notice a much increased morning breath problem when you wake. If you snacked during the night and did not clean the mouth afterwards, once again you will notice a worse problem when you wake. Read More
Halicheck Gas Chromography - Exclusive to BreezeCare Breath Clinic
This is a specialised test that measures the individual gases of bad breath. Halicheck is so specialised that there are fewer than 500 units worldwide, and Breezecare Breath Clinics are proud to base their diagnosis around the results this machine can give us. Gas Chromatography is an extremely accurate science that is the accepted method to measure gas compounds in air samples. The machine is so accurate that it can measure gas compounds as few as one part gas compound per billion parts of air. Most human noses only begin to be able to sense smells at around 50 to 100 parts of gas per billion parts of air. So the machine is way more sensitive than the human nose.

Frequently Asked Questions About Bad Breath
Is Bad Breath Contagious is the most commonly asked question, and the answer is a definite No. It is caused by common body bacteria breaking down proteins in the mouth for metabolism. However, it is certainly possible to transfer bacteria to another person by kissing them. But these bacteria would need to be transferred to a receptive bad breath environment. In other words, quite possibly you already have bad breath and did not realise it. Bacteria passed to a non receptive mouth (one that did not have an environment for anaerobic bacteria) would not enable the bacteria to colonise. In other words if you do not have a bad breath problem, you are unlikely to catch one by kissing a person with bad breath. Read More
Post Nasal Drip and Bad Breath
Mucous caused by sinus problems and post nasal drip is a large part of bad breath, especially in the UK. The mucous collects at the back of the throat and on the very back portion of the tongue and stagnates into a biofilm. Bacteria bury themselves deep within this biofilm and eat the proteins found within. The waste products from the bacteria are generally Dimethyl Sulphide and smell of cabbage, or gasoline. Read More
The Probiotic Streptococcus salivarius K12
Professor John Tagg, at Otago University studies and researches probiotic bacteria suitable to work in the mouth. His driving force was due to an attack of rheumatic fever he suffered in childhood, and the consequent ongoing use of antibiotics he was forced to take. You may not realise that rheumatic fever is the result of someone (usually a child) coughing on another person and transmitting a sore throat bacteria called Streptococcus Pyogenes. This Step bacteria colonises the throat and releases toxins that can spread to the heart and cause heart damage (commonly called Rheumatic fever). Read More
Probiotics Clinical Test - Done at BreezeCare Breath Clinic
Bad breath is the waste product from billions of bacteria that live in biofilms in our mouth and throat. The bacteria live specifically on our tongue, in plaque on our teeth, between the gums, and in the back of the throat. These bad breath bacteria grow very quickly when the mouth becomes a hostile environment. This often happens when we consume acids or proteins such as coffee, soft drink sports drinks or dairy products. Or if we have chronic problems such as nasal mucous dry mouth we encourage the growth of bad breath bacteria. Read More
Case Studies Done at BreezeCare Breath Clinic
As you can see from the graph on the left hand side, the average breath patient has a halitosis reading of 684ppb. This is a combined total of all the volatile sulphur compounds being hydrogen sulphide, methyl mercaptan and dimethyl sulphide. Science has stated that a reading above 150ppb of volatile sulphur compounds is able to be smelt by another person.
