Chewing Tobacco and Bad Breath

Chewing Tobacco and Bad Breath

It has been a busy week for me. How about you? I am putting the finishing touches on my bad breath coaching program. I look forward to announcing it soon and rolling it out in support of the great work that the dentist professionals are doing for us... Having lived through it, I just feel that there is something else missing. Stay tuned. I will keep you posted.


In the meantime, I posted another new article today on my website, www.cure-badbreath.com.


I was inspired by several men that I saw at the home improvement store this week. Each had a chin full of chewing tobacco logged between their lower lip and teeth. Now, I could see how their teeth and gums were affected. It was so vivid that even though there were too far away for it to be true, I could swear that I smelled their breath too!

Take a look at the article and leave me a comment here or on the website.

Anyway,

Babies Bad Breath

I just posted a new article in the Bad Breath and Children on my website. You can also access it by clicking here on Babies Bad Breath.

While I am working on my coaching program, I wanted to keep my website up to date with good information. So I decided to expand focus on each of my bad breath categories and beef them up with more valuable content for you.

Some sections will need more help than others, but look for more good information coming your way!

Bad Breath Coach Update

I just wanted to let you know that I have been busy working on rolling out my new program. I doubt that I will call it the Bad Breath Coach because it just does not give the best image of what I want to achieve. If you have any suggestions, I am open.

I already have a few people that I would like to test my program with. However, if you are struggling with bad breath and need a coach to help move you in the right direction, then please do not hesitate to reach out to me. I would be happy to help.

Just click here and complete my contact form. I am very responsive and look forward to helping you achieve your goals.

New Idea: Bad Breath Coach

I had a new idea tonight and I wanted to share it with you before I went to bed.

I read an article this week that broke my heart. I have to find it again so I can share it with you. But the subject of the article was a young man who liked a young girl but could not stand her smelly breath. The worst part of the article was the fact that he would never tell her why he would not see her again. He would just avoid her.

My heart broke. I am sure that I have been that young girl, but I will never know how many times. I guess I knew my breath smelled sometimes, but I did not know how bad. And I did not know that it was chasing people away from me.

Of course, as I aged. I wised up and did something about it. But it doesn't take away the embarassment. The feeling of rejection, even though I now know why.

How many of us suffer in silence because there is no one to talk to? Your dentist is a great specialist to treat the physical problem. But who is there to help you through the emotional stress. Who is there to keep you on track and committed to creating new habits that will transform your breath AND your life?

I have to work out the details but I believe that I will be that person who can be there for you. Together we can conquer bad breath.

Should I call myself the bad breath coach or the fresh breath coach?

Either way, you will be hearing more about my new idea very soon.

Did I forget National Fresh Breath Day on August 6th?

Did I forget National Fresh Breath Day on August 6th?

Ugh! I cannot believe that I missed the day. Especially after I had a lovely phone conversation with Carol Meyers, the lovely lady and founder of National Fresh Breath Day on August 6th. We spoke several months back when I was planning to launch my www.cure-badbreath.com website.

Here is what she told me about why she founded National Fresh Breath Day:

"National Fresh Breath Day is designed to bring attention to the
importance of fresh breath as an integral part of one’s overall health and
wellness. NFBD is the first recognition day celebrating fresh breath and
1997 was the first year it was celebrated. The day is celebrated on August 6th,
during National Smile Month.

As a registered Dental Hygienist, a professional Image Consultant, author, and president of PBC - Personal Breath Consultants, Inc, Carol was very helpful in providing me with feedback on my website and also allowing me to reprint several of her articles. I have two of her articles on my bad breath website:

1. The Forgotten Key to Oral Health
2. How to Keep a Fresh Breath Smile

Both of the articles are very well written, so click and take and discover her secrets.

In the meantime, I will reach out to her again to see if we can get some time with her to speak with us or to be host on our Fresh Breath Discussion Forum.

How Has Bad Breath Affected Your Life?

How Has Bad Breath Affected Your Life?

Think about it for a minute. Are you doing things differently that you would prefer? Are you more self conscious? Do you keep yourself away from others for fear of rejection?

I will tell you that for years, bad breath kept me isolated. At a distance. It made me an observer of life, rather than a participant. I was lonely, even when I was around people. Why? Because I was suffering. Bad breath was a physical afflication that impacted me emotionally and socially.

No one deserves to live this way. No one deserves to suffer in silence. That is why I have made it my mission to educate others about bad breath and to recommend viable solutions.

So if you think that I have been too hyped up about Dr. Katz's Therabreath products, then you should know that I am an avid user and believer.

You deserve to be free of bad breath. So try Dr. Katz's free trail of Therabreath.

Enough,

Why Am I So Excited About the NEW Therabreath Trial to Treat Bad Breath?

Why Am I So Excited About the TheraBreath Free Trial to Treat Bad Breath?

Yes, there are tons of products on the marketplace. Yes, some work. But most Do Not. And there are too many promises of overnight success. Dr. Katz offers a system that works. No promises of quick success. And he does offer a satisfaction guarantee. All you have to do is cover the shipping costs. Isn't it time that you try something that could solve your bad breath?


I copied his Q&A for you to see his straightforward practical advice.

Click here to find out more information about the TheraBreath Free Trial to Treat Bad Breath.


Is TheraBreath safe for people of all ages?

Yes. TheraBreath is safe for children and adults.

Can I still use my regular toothpaste and mouthwash if I use TheraBreath?

Absolutely not. Almost all commercial toothpastes contain Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SOAP), placed in toothpaste in order to create a foaming action, so that you think that something is actually happening. It has no beneficial effects at all. Unfortunately, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate will also inhibit the potency of the active ingredients. That is why those who use TheraBreath Toothpaste should read the ingredients in their commercial toothpaste - it contains Sodium Lauryl Sulfate!

Furthermore, almost all mouthwashes contain alcohol. And as you know, alcohol makes the mouth drier which will then make your breath and taste worse. This will negate the benefits of the oxidation process. TheraBreath Oral Rinse and Toothpaste were designed to replace all of those old-fashioned 19th century formulas that make your mouth dry.

Can I use your products even if I had some work done to my teeth?

Most definitely. TheraBreath is kind to tooth enamel, porcelain, etc. Actually, it is also beneficial to damaged oral tissue.

If I run out of TheraBreath Oral Rinse and Toothpaste, is theresomething I can use that will help until I can get more?

It’s sad to say this... but probably not. And it’s because of the alcohol in the mouthwash and the detergent in the toothpaste. What’s even sadder is that Crest now makes a toothpaste that combines detergent and alcohol... why? Just for the taste! I recommend that you rinse with warm salt water and brush with baking soda.

Once I start, do I have to do this treatment for the rest of my life?

The only way to effectively stop these bacteria from producing these Volatile Sulfur Compounds (VSC's) is to use an OXYD-8 based product. No other compounds will perform this action. The bacteria reproduce every 10-12 hours and that is why the treatment must be done throughout the day. After several months, there is a residual effect, whereby the medication has a longer lasting feeling. Some patients are then able to get by with performing the procedure only twice daily. However, for the best results, most people perform the procedures three times daily.

Many patients use between 2-3 bottles of rinse per month. A large toothpaste lasts about 5-6 weeks. If you stop, the problems will come back again because the bacteria will recognize the difference within a few days. These products were designed to become your daily oral hygiene system. And now, with tooth whitening (TheraBrite) and periodontal treatments (PerioTherapy) as part of our entire system, you’ll never need to use any other products. By the way, most people spend less than $1 per day to maintain their TheraBreath fresh breath and taste.


Let me know what you think,

Dr. Katz Offers New Fresh Breath Program to Combat Bad Breath

Dr. Katz Offers New FREE Fresh Breath Program to Combat Bad Breath

I don't know how many of you are familiar with Dr. Katz, but he is one of the leading dentists that has focused on the issues and problems of bad breath. Here is a quick summary of his background.

After establishing a private dental practice in Beverly Hills, California, Dr. Katz began his own research into the truth about bad breath in 1994, after he was unable to help his own 13 year-old daughter with her breath problem.

Since 1994, no one has helped more people fight bad breath than Dr. Katz -- nearly 13,000 have been successfully treated through his California Breath Clinics in the US and internationally. Over 1,000,000 people in 68 different countries have used his TheraBreath System formulas to eliminate balitosis (bad breath) and regain their lost confidence.


Pretty powerful stuff!

Anyway, Dr. Katz has just introduced a FREE TRIAL for his Therabreath products. You can find more information about Free Fresh Breath Trial by clicking here.

I know that you probably will have lots of questions about this. So I will put a Q&A on my bad breath website at http://www.cure-badbreath.citymax.com/badbreathproducts.html.

Have a great weekend.

Even Celebrities Have Smoker's Bad Breath

Even Celebrities Have Smoker's Bad Breath


Ok, so I am reaching. But it has been a long week and I don't want today to go by without leaving a message. Unfortunately, my brain is sufficiently fried that I cannot speak on a serious level. So I will write about an article from today. I am disgusted and disappointed in where our society is heading. This is about more than bad breath, but it does include it. But before I get on my soapbox, let me stay focused....

But I do promise to continue dropping more bad breath tips after I get some rest. Maybe even tomorrow!

Here is a copy of the article here...basically if you are struggling with smoking and suffering from bad breath....this should make your jaw drop.

Reprinted from M&C News Aug 4, 2006, 23:14 GMT

In health crazy California, some stars buck the conventional wisdom and smoke anyway, despite the small matters of cancer, bad breath and that crazy accordion lip wrinkle thing.

Recently actress Melanie Griffith has caused a kerfluffle after being photographed actually lighting her 17-year-old daughter Dakota's cigarette in Los Angeles, where the legal age for smoking is 18. The best age to start smoking is never.

Spotted outside the Beverly Hills boutique Maxfield on Wednesday, mère et fille taking a fag break, puffing away.

Griffith was seen with a cigarette dangling out of her mouth, and was using a lighter to help her daughter light up.

Have a great Friday,

Have You Used a Tongue Scrapper to Prevent Bad Breath?

Have You Used a Tongue Scrapper to Prevent Bad Breath?

Look in the mirror and stick your tongue out as far as you can. If you see an off-color area in the back of your tongue, you may have found a bad breath breeding ground. Now wipe your finger across the back of your tongue and blow on it. If it smells bad, chances are you have bad breath.

I just tried it, and guess what, my breath doesn’t smell so good. In fact, I can now taste my bad breath. Gross, huh?

Bacteria live and thrive on the back of our tongues, and the only way to remove as much of the bacteria as possible is with a tongue scraper. Tongue scraping twice a day is 50 percent more effective at eliminating bad breath than brushing alone and can actually increase taste sensitivity.

I never used a tongue scraper until my dentist recommended one. You think he could smell my bad breath?

Tongue scrapers or cleaners, which are u-shaped devices made from plastic or stainless steel, have been around for years. They look like shaving razors without the sharp blades. They should be rinsed with hot water after each swipe of the tongue. Even more beneficial is storing them in a glass of antibacterial rinse.

Personally I prefer the disposable kind.

Studies suggest that tongue cleaning should accompany brushing and flossing in order to achieve a truly cleansed oral cavity. Tongue cleaning removes most of the bacteria and other debris that are the primary sources of bad breath, tartar, and tooth decay.

I have learned to carry a brush, floss, a tooth picker, and a tongue cleaner with me every where I go. And guess what? Habit makes for great hygiene. It becomes second nature.

Tongue cleaning is comfortable, easy, and only takes 20-30 seconds. Rinsing with an anti-bacterial rinse should take place after the tongue is cleaned. Tongue cleaning is a chemical-free process and actually removes this gross stuff from your tongue, instead of masking it, like mints.

In terms of oral health and halitosis (bad breath) treatment, there is no doubt that the bulk of the odor-causing bacteria in the mouth reside on the tongue. I used to just brush my tongue, but keep in mind that brushing the tongue does nothing but mash the bacteria and plaque deeper into the tongue without addressing the real problem. Don’t do it!

Tongue cleaning removes a portion of bacteria remaining in the mouth after brushing and flossing. Using an antibacterial mouth rinse alone after brushing and flossing, although temporarily giving a sense of fresh breath, does not remove bacteria remaining on the tongue. However, a final rinse with an antibacterial product, after using a tongue scraper, usually puts a finishing touch on any remaining odor and is quite effective.

Give it a try. I think you will be happy with the results. You can find the tongue scrapers at your local pharmacy. No need to buy them online when they are readily available locally. But if you need me to refer you online, just drop me a line and I would be more than happy to assist. Just ask.

Enjoy,

Alexa
