Halitosis is a chronic odor condition caused by "volatile sulfur compounds" (VSCs) released when anaerobic bacteria break down proteins in the mouth. Rather than masking the odor, this treatment is a scientific disinfection process aimed at eliminating bacterial plaque, tartar, and the biofilm on the tongue.
Treatment Process:
Halitometric Measurement: The intensity of sulfur gases is measured to diagnose whether the odor originates from oral or systemic sources.
Professional Oral Cleaning: Bacterial plaques and tartar accumulated in periodontal pockets are removed using professional ultrasonic tools.
Tongue and Mucosal Decontamination: The tongue surface, where bacteria most densely aggregate, is cleared of its biofilm using specialized scrapers.
Elimination of Infection Foci: Decayed teeth, leaking fillings, or gingival inflammations are treated to establish a complete hygiene barrier.
Personalized Hygiene Protocol: Patients are taught specific tongue brushing techniques and prescribed anti-halitosis rinses to ensure a permanent solution.
Benefits and Advantages:
Social Confidence: Eliminating chronic bad breath removes hesitations in a person's social and professional interactions.
Early Detection: The diagnostic process helps identify hidden gum diseases or systemic issues underlying the odor.
Fresh Breath and Taste: Reducing the bacterial load not only clears the breath but also sharpens the sense of taste and reduces morning dry mouth.
Systemic Health Protection: Lowering the concentration of oral pathogenic bacteria has a protective effect on overall health and the cardiovascular system.
