10. Typical Bad Breath Sufferer

11. “I have suffered from chronic bad breath for several years and after many visits to GPs, ENT specialists, and dentists who gave little help, I am praying this could be the solution to my problems. I have found that my bad breath has been very debilitating and depressing. It has been hard to even get out of bed in the morning, knowing that no matter how much cleaning and mouth washing I did, I still had to talk to people in my job all day with bad breath. I find it hard to make eye contact, look away from the person when talking, and panic if they stand too close to me. Sometimes I don't talk at all for fear I will offend someone with my breath. I can't go out without at least a few packets of gum or lozenges on me, and am constantly chewing or sucking which also offends people. I dread sitting next to someone on a plane or bus. I have even heard so called friends at work snickering about me and know they must think I don't clean my teeth. I hope one day to become the outgoing people person I used to be.”

12. Bacteria cause Bad Breath Smells Virtually all bad breath is due to the activity of bacteria going about their daily business. These bacteria can be found in large numbers on our tongues, teeth, gums, throat, tonsils and nasal passages. Exceptions – Hunger Breath, Diabetes

13. A Different Smell – Hunger Breath • The smell is due to ketones • Caused by breakdown of body fats • Increasing problem due to fad diets • Worsens during the day • Cleaning teeth will not stop smell

14. The Smells Bacteria Make

15. What Starts Bad Breath? • Sticky film called “biofilm” builds up daily on our teeth, tongue & throat. • Biofilm that is not removed becomes invaded with bacteria. • Biofilm can contain up to 800 types of bacteria.

16. Where do Bad Breath Bacteria Live? • Below the surface of the tongue • Below the gums around the teeth • In the back of the throat • In the nasal passages

17. Illness CausesBad Breath • Chronic Nasal Problems– thickens nasal mucous, stops the nasal hairs from doing their cleaning action. • Periodontal (Gum) Disease – promotes the growth of hardy bacteria and increases the available surface area for biofilm, below the gum line. • Dry Mouth (Sjogren’s Syndrome) – affect the quality and quantity of saliva. Saliva is nature’s cleaning solution that stops mouth disease and helps reduce bad breath.

18. Medicines CauseBad Breath 7 of the top 10 prescription medicines cause dry mouth • Blood Pressure • Allergy & Sinus • Anti Depressant • Heartburn & Indigestion • Sedatives and Relaxants

19. Lifestyle Causes Bad Breath • Alcohol –dries the mouth, decreases saliva. • Dairy Products –provide a food source for bad breath bacteria. Thicken nasal mucous. • Smoking –removes oxygen from the mouth, promoting bad breath bacteria. • Coffee & Other drinks –increase acid in the mouth, directly affecting saliva content.

29. Typical BreezeCare Testimonial “Many years ago my wife hinted me on the poor state of my breath. I have tried almost every over the counter medication that I have come across. I have been to see many dentists without any success. I took Halico Bacteria test which came up negative. Meanwhile the state of my breath continued to deteriorate. Going out and talking to people became a problem. Eventually I started shying away from social outings as my self confidence went low. I couldn't be physically affectionate with my wife any more. The kisses and hugs stopped and we started sleeping in separate rooms. Then one day on National TV we saw your ad on Today Tonight. That day has since turned out to be my miracle day. I got on the net and read more on your product. At first I thought it was just a gimmick - one of those ads to dupe people and make quick money. But my supportive wife persisted that I try it. And so I did. Right from day one we noticed a vast improvement in my breath and the continued result has been overwhelming. Once again in a long long time I have started enjoying kisses and hugs from my lovely wife. I feel very confident now going out and talking to people.Thank you very much for putting back some life into my life. Keep on with your good work. And God bless you.”
