The professional detection and treatment of Halitosis represents one of the newest innovations in dentistry. We now have a scientific protocol for detecting and treating this condition for those who suffer from this problem. Research has determined that in the majority of patients this condition is caused by the accumulation of "Volatile Sulfur Compounds" produced by anaerobic bacteria within the mouth. We can accurately quantify the sulfur compound and presence using a device called a Halimeter. Once we have taken various measurements with this machine and performed a through review of your condition, we can recommend a treatment plan to alleviate the condition. The plan utilizes treatments and several new safe chemical agents that were developed specially for this purpose. We have achieved remarkable results with patients who have suffered for years with this problem. Before a Halimeter test is administered there is some preparation required prior to the day of the test. Upon making your appointment you will receive a set of instructions on how to prepare for this exam before your visit.
