Why I Don't Use A Bad Breath Detector
I frequently receive correspondence from readers asking me if bad breath detectors truly work. Many ask what I think of them.
Have you ever seen a bad breath detector? Are you aware of what they are?
The ones that I have seen have always been hand held devices designed for you to breathe into so that they can evaluate your breath odor. Once the measurement is made, a light will light up if there is an issue.
Of course they differ by model --- you will, usually, get unique colored lights that suggest different conditions. It is normal that a red light indicates BAD - a green light means GOOD, and there could likely even be yellow and orange lights signaling borderline problems.
What makes them work? I'm afraid I haven't a clue. I imagine I am like most people and don't really care how they work. Just as long as they work.
What is the total price tag on these little guys? Commonly about $20. Those are the normal ones. Some of the fancier models may cost near $60, but usually those may also be used as a breathalyzer to measure alcohol on the breath.
Are they a good buy?
Well, let's think about this. If $20 seems reasonable to you, and you like the handy nature of what it does - buy one and use it. Why not?
Just keep in mind, it is rather simple to perform your own breath test by breathing onto the back of one of your hands and sniffing. Another way is to sniff your wrist after you lightly lick it.
You should know if your breath needs attention after taking these two tests. The first test is specifically for the most common types of bad breath, the second test is for those cases where saliva is the cause of breath odor.
Just as important, at least I think, is to ask yourself what steps you are taking to prevent foul breath odor? You must understand your basic bad breath cause.
People are not generally aware of it, commercial made mouth rinse formulas use alcohol as a main ingredient, which is very bad!
Why is this bad? Because alcohol dries out the mouth, and when you have a dry mouth, bad breath is much more likely. Alcohol is not an effective bad breath remedy.
As I was researching, The Bad Breath Treatment Guide, I found out that bad breath in most people is caused by one of these components:
Choice of Diet
Dental Hygiene
Dried Mouth
Extreme Diets
Throat and/or Nose Infections
Pressure
What's more, in a minority of instances, bad breath can be caused by serious disease.
The best bad breath treatment is a simple organic home cure that really works.
