In 1992 I founded the first clinic for research, diagnosis and treatment of bad breath odor problems in the United States. In my clinic we discovered that almost all breath odor problems originate from a type of bacteria that inhabits the mouth, particularly on the back surface of the tongue. We found that cleaning the back of the tongue and rinsing with a solution containing chlorine dioxide eliminated bad breath in over 99% of our patients. Chlorine Dioxide is a safe but powerful deodorant and antibacterial agent, used for decades for the purification of drinking water. I patented a unique method of preparing and confining chlorine dioxide in a safe and effective solution for oral use and called it ProFresh Oral Rinse. My patent excludes all other manufacturers from using chlorine dioxide in a mouthwash.
Shortly after I reported my success in treating patients for halitosis, "bad breath clinics" began appearing all over the world. In addition, many new products emerged claiming to contain chlorine dioxide. In their claims, some of these products refer to their "oxygen", "oxidizing" or oxygenating effects. Independent laboratory analysis of these products demonstrates that none of them contain any significant level of chlorine dioxide nor do they contain or release oxygen. Unfortunately, there is very little regulation of the claims that mouthwash manufacturers can make about their products. As long as these products do not actually contain chlorine dioxide (which would infringe on my patent), they can say whatever they want.
The simple truth is that a diligent program of good oral hygiene, together with twice a day tongue cleaning and rinsing with ProFresh Oral Rinse with chlorine dioxide, will control even the most stubborn cases of bad breath. If you would like to make an appointment to visit my clinic please have the referral form on this site completed and faxed or mailed to my office. In the interest of saving you time and money I strongly suggest that before making a clinic appointment you first try the home treatment system (ProFresh BreathCare System) that I developed directly from my clinical treatment program. It contains all the essential elements of the program, can be done in the privacy of your home and at a fraction of the cost of a clinic visit. It will solve all but the most difficult of breath problems. If you feel that it has not helped your money will be refunded and you can still visit the clinic. Simply hit this link and it will take you to the ProFresh web site where you can order products conveniently with complete confidentiality.
