DID YOU KNOW THAT… THERE ARE 4 COMMON MYTHS SURROUNDING HALITOSIS
07 Sep 2014
1. LOW PREVALENCE
The truth is, halitosis has a high prevalence: around 30% of the adult population has or has had halitosis at some time.
2. WRONG AETIOLOGY
In 90% of all cases, the source of the problem is in the oral cavity. It is also important to remember that in order to fight halitosis, it is necessary to perform a differential diagnosis to consider all symptoms.
3. NO REFERENCE SPECIALIST EXISTS
The diagnosis will be done by a dentist, who besides making patients aware of the importance of this condition, will also be in charge of preventing, diagnosing and treating it.
4. THERE IS NO SOLUTION OR TREATMENT
With specific treatment and oral hygiene with products combining chlorhexidine digluconate (CHX), cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) and zinc lactate together with a tongue cleaner, halitosis does have a solution.
