Researchers Say Mouthwash May Cause Bad Breath
Feb/070
Mouthwash may be a contributing factor in causing bad breath say researchers.
Big companies spend tons of money trying to get you go buy their products, but not all of their features will benefit you. According to the article on nbc5, “Almost all toothpastes have sodium lauryl sulfate, a foaming agent that can dry out mouths, causing bad breath.”
Other things in these products also dry out your mouth, only helping the bad breath get worse.
Also noted is how proper oral hygiene, rather than some hyped product goes a long way to preventing bad breath, simple brushing, flossing and brushing your tongue.
Bad Breath: A State of Mind?
Feb/070
An article on about.com hints on something which is very relevent to those who think they might have bad breath.
The study showed that many people have faulty perceptions about having bad breath, making them acutely aware of their sometimes imaginary affliction, while others with severe halitosis might not even know they have it.
People’s self image played a major part in this whole process.
People who were “worriers” were more likely to score their breath worse than a neutral odor judge, whereas others might rate it closer to what it should be. Being able to accurately assess their own breath was also a key to being able to remedy their symptoms.
In the most extreme cases, working with a mental health professional might be necessary.
