Laser Zapping Bad Breath
For anyone who has suffered from bad breath, the effects on your self esteem can be devastating. How many times
have you been in the close company of others only to wonder if your bad breath was leaving a negative impact? For
many people bad breath is a fact of life and, although they have tried my cures, they continue to suffer. Bad
breath can be distressing and embarrassing when it occurs every day.
One cause of bad breath, for which there has never before been a cure, is a form of halitosis that emanates from
the tonsils. If you’re one of these people for whom bad breath is connected to the tonsils you’ll be pleased to
know that a laser treatment is all that it takes to bring you some relief.
Mild cases of halitosis are usually the result of bacteria in the cavities of the gums or teeth. Bacteria release
gases which have a bad odor, such as hydrogen sulphide. To avoid this type of bad breath brush your teeth
regularly, use a mouthwash, and make sure that you see your dentist regularly for teeth cleaning.
Certain foods can also cause bad breath in some people in particular strong tasting foods. Garlic is perhaps the
number one culprit of bad breath and can leave a lingering smell that can last for several hours. Other foods that
can cause bad breath include strong spices, cabbage, and alcohol.
Your tonsils can also be a cause of your bad breath. This is because your tonsils have grooves and pits that are
perfect places for anaerobic bacteria to thrive in. The good news is that there is now a laser procedure available
that can help to seal these grooves in your tonsils so that bacteria can no longer enter. The entire procedure will
take about fifteen minutes from beginning to end.
The laser is used to vaporize the tonsil tissue that is infected so that scar tissue is created. Bacteria will be
unable to penetrate this scar tissue and therefore have no place to breed. Most patients will be cured of their bad
breath after just one laser treatment while other patients will need to have two or three treatments.
Before you try laser treatment for your bad breath you’ll want to try more conventional methods of treatment first.
This includes using mouthwash, brushing your teeth more often, or scraping the tongue. If nothing else seems to
work, contact your doctor or dentist to find out more information about laser treatment for bad breath.
