You CAN Stop Morning Breath!
===========================================================
Since I established the California Breath Clinics back in 1993, I've encountered just about every kind of breath condition possible....
From the most offensive situations where you can smell the patients breath from across the room, to those lucky few with breath sweeter than a baby. We've been very fortunate in that we've been able to tackle all types of bad breath, taste disorders, and dry mouth.
But, I wanted to share something special with you regarding a category of bad breath and sour/bitter taste common to just about everybody.
Stats about Morning Breath
Approximately 35% of the world's population has a chronic, noticeable breath condition which usually leads them to seek help from a professional (which may often be incorrect.) This first group has bad breath concerns 24 hours a day, including food odors, taste disorders, dry mouth, and of course "morning breath"....
Another 35% are "borderline" - meaning that their breath seems fresh throughout the day, but they can easily reach "chronic" levels, if they eat certain foods (dairy, alcohol, sugars), after taking medication (antihistamines, antidepressants, high blood pressure medication) and always when they wake up, in other words - "morning breath".
The remaining 30% rarely worry about their breath. The only exceptions are when they eat garlic and onions, or upon wakening (morning breath)...
So what's going on with morning breath? The thing is, just about EVERYONE has morning breath to one degree or another!
As we sleep throughout the night, our salivary glands slow down (or for some older people - shut down completely) because our brain knows we are not eating. This, combined with the constant flow of air (for those of us who snore or are mouth breathers) over our palate makes for a very DRY environment on the tongue, within our oral cavity and in the throat (the breeding

grounds of the anaerobic sulfur-producing bacteria that cause bad breath and taste disorders).
And as I talk about in my article on dry mouth ....this creates an environment that is very conducive for 'morning breath'. (Saliva is nature's way of protecting us from bad breath, because healthy saliva contains high concentrations of oxygen - the natural enemy of anaerobic bacteria.) So if you get morning breath after a good night of sleep - don't worry, you're not alone!
But what most people don't know (and this includes most medical and dental professionals), is that morning breath is NOT something that you have to live with.
The key is to find a way to stop the production of VSC's (volatile sulfur compounds) during the night as you are asleep. One way would be to increase the production of saliva within the back of your throat and mouth during the night. But this is very difficult to do - after all, you're asleep! And those of us who are mouth breathers are drying out the back of our throats with each breath that we take throughout the night.
When I first started treating my own daughter's breath problem 10 years ago, I never dreamed that I would end up helping so many people all over the world who had the same problem, which my fellow dentists ignored or misdiagnosed for far too long. It was only a few years into our clinical therapy that I realized that "Every case of bad breath is different and that there is no such thing as one formula to
treat every case of halitosis."
From my clinical tests at the California Breath Clinics (office visits available in Los Angeles and San Francisco), we've found that we can help our patients prevent bad breath, sinus congestion, and lousy tastes. If there is anything we can do to help, please don't hesitate to contact us - that's why we're here!
