I Want Fresh Breath
Simple really - Here is my 3 step strategy
As with everything in life, we Research, Plan and Prepare - Also be prepared to go the extra mile for good health.
Step 1 - Stay hydrated - Hydration is vital to avoid nasty Bad Breath
If food is decomposing in your mouth because it wasn’t broken down or washed out, bacteria can flourish - Drink plenty of water.
Avoid alcohol and tobacco - Both can lead to your mouth becoming dry.
The following Lozenges could help avoid dry mouth hence avoiding Bad Breath
Chewing gum or sucking a sweet, preferably sugar-free, can help stimulate the production of saliva.
If you are concerned that you are not drinking enough water, check your urine. If your urine is usually colourless or light yellow, you are well hydrated. If your urine is a dark yellow or amber colour, you may be dehydrated.
Step 2 - Free yourself from Bad Breath easily and naturally.

Causes of Bad Breath
Bad breath is caused by Anaerobic Sulfur Producing Bacteria which normally live WITHIN the surface of the tongue and in the throat. These bacteria are supposed to be there, because they assist humans in digestion by breaking down proteins found in specific foods, mucous or phlegm, blood, and in diseased or "broken-down" oral tissue.
Under certain conditions, these bacteria start to break down proteins at a very high rate. Proteins are made up of Amino Acids. Two of the Amino Acids (Cysteine and Methionine) are dense with sulfur.
When these "beneficial" bacteria come into contact with these compounds, the odorous and "lousy-tasting" sulfur compounds are released from the back of the tongue and throat, as Hydrogen Sulfide, Methyl Mercaptan, and other odorous and bad tasting compounds. These "problem" compounds are often referred to as volatile sulfur compounds (VSC), where volatile means Vaporous and Effervescent, two adjectives which accurately describe their ability to offend other people instantly.
Causes of Swine Flu
The swine flu virus is spread in exactly the same way as the ordinary cold and flu viruses.
How Do I Know I Have Bad Breath ?
It can be difficult to realise that you have bad breath. Other people tend to notice it first, and they may find it difficult to tell you. If you are worried that you have bad breath you may have to ask a close friend or family member to tell you honestly whether they think that you have.
There is a way of finding out if your breath smells bad without having to call in outside help. "You run your tongue a couple of times over your wrist, let the saliva dry for 30 seconds and then smell it," reveals Benno Raddatz, a dentist from the southern German state of Badem-Wurttemburg. The same trick can be carried out using a cotton wool bud.
How do I know I Have Got Swine Flu ?
Just like normal Flu, the symptons of Swine Flu include:
1/ a sudden fever (a high body temperature of 38C/100.4F or above)
2/ a sudden cough
Other symptons may include:
* Headache
* Sore throat
* Tiredness
* Runny nose
* Chills
* Sneezing
* Aching muscles
* Loss of appetite
* Limb or joint pain
* Diarrhoea or stomach upset
Bad Breath is NOT a sympton of Swine Flu
If you think you have Swine Flu, do the following:
Stay at home and check your symptons on government (or your National Pandemic Flu Service) regulated websites.
Only call your doctor, if:
1/ You have a serious underlying illness
2/ You are pregnant
3/ You have a sick child under one year old
4/ Your condition suddenly gets much worse after 7 days (or 5 days for a child)

Scots plagued by the curse of loose lower dentures are being offered a permanent solution by a pioneering Scottish dental practice.
Two businessmen behind the Scottish Dental Implant Centre have now set up another practice – Lubiju – where they are adapting the technology to fix dental plates firmly in the jaw.
Patients who undergo the treatment at the state-of-the-art centre require minor surgery that takes less than two hours and provides a permanent solution to loose dentures.
Dr Biju Krishnan, said: “Implant technology is absolutely amazing and now that it has been adapted for lower dental plates it will be a godsend to thousands of Scots.”
“It is no exaggeration to say that this minor surgery is absolutely life-changing for those people who live with constant irritation of loose dentures.”
“We hear stories every single day of how patients lack confidence because their dentures make it difficult to do the most basic things, like eat or speak comfortably.”
“They also spend large amounts of time and money trying to solve the problem with messy and difficult to use pastes, gels and fixatives.”
“In the worst cases food can become trapped under the dentures and even cause the wearer to suffer bad breath. Anyone who has had these problems knows what a nightmare they can be.”
The technology involves drilling through the gum into the jawbone where a tiny titanium implant is placed and eventually bonds with the bone. Each implant acts like a replacement root and they were originally developed to secure individual replacement teeth.
However, the implants have now been adapted to hold lower dentures firmly and securely in place. Each mini implant has a ball-shaped head which fits into a socket on the dental plate. While this keeps dentures securely in place, they can still be removed for daily cleaning.
Dr Krishnan added: “Because of our expertise, patients come in for the treatment under local anaesthetic and walk out two hours later with their problems solved. It really is that simple.”
Typically the treatment is ideal for those patients who wear lower denture plates for six to 14 lower teeth and involves fitting four implants at a cost of around £1500 – which can be spread across interest free repayments.
Lubiju was set up by business partners Dr Biju Krishnan and Dr Lubino do Rego, who met while studying dentistry at Dundee University. They have already created a respected UK centre of excellence at the Scottish Dental Implant Centre, in part of their Drake Dental Practice which is open to NHS patients.
In March they launched Lubiju, one of Scotland’s most advanced treatment centres, with an investment of £750,000 to concentrate on adopting and developing emerging, hi-tech techniques in cosmetic dentistry.
It boasts an impressive list of experts in maxilla-facial surgery, anaesthetics and implant surgery. The implant team is led by world-renowned Dr John Cuccio, who ran a Harley Street specialist implant practice for 30 years.
Lubiju has the ambience of a five-star hotel and is fitted out with three state of the art treatment suites, each with a designer flat screen TV on the ceiling, so patients can watch DVDs during longer treatments such as laser tooth whitening.
Each suite is also equipped with powerful, hi-tech, ceiling-mounted cameras, which can film surgical and cosmetic procedures to be beamed to specialist audiences elsewhere in the practice – or anywhere in the world – for training and teaching purposes.
Uniquely in Scotland Lubiju is blending hi-tech technology with traditional alternative therapies and treatments – including massage, relaxation therapies, holistic treatments and hypnotherapy.
This means patients can be treated for needle phobias and gag reflex problems, while recognised pre and post-treatment relaxation techniques can improve the experience and hasten recovery times.
The centre also has its own dedicated massage and complementary therapy treatment room, with expert staff who also provide alternative health advice, relaxation treatments, non-surgical facelifts and other rejuvenation and detox treatments.
CASE STUDY
Dental Implants Bring a Smile to Pensioner’s Face
A retired postal worker has revealed how his life has improved dramatically since he invested in dental implants to end years of denture misery
Iain Robertson’s life was so blighted by loose lower denture plate he even avoided taking holidays abroad because he suffered from painful gum sores, an inability to eat many foods and even problems with his speech.
The 76-year-old was in constant pain and his confidence was shattered. In desperation he turned to cosmetic dentist, Dr Biju Krishnan, who advised him to have his dentures secured with implant technology.
Iain said: “I was at my wits end. My dentures were causing me constant pain and I knew I had do something quickly to improve the situation.”
“I had my teeth removed more than 30 years ago and at first I didn’t have any problems. But latterly my mouth was always sore and no matter how many times I visited the dentist nothing seemed to change.”
“Finally my wife Liz read about dental implants in a magazine and she asked her dentist Dr Krishnan if he could help me. Previously the pain and inconvenience stopped me living life to the full.”
“I was forever taking my dentures out of my mouth which Liz hated. I also felt self-conscious when I was talking and my jaw often ached and I even avoided going on holiday because I was so self-conscious.”
“Now I rarely think about my teeth. Liz and I are forever jetting off on holiday and all I have to do is pop the denture out of my mouth twice a day to clean it. I can also eat all my favorite foods again and I am much happier.”
”Having implants done was one of the best decisions I have ever made and I would thoroughly recommend the procedure to anyone else having problems with their dentures".

With no small amount of toothpaste on the market, it can be difficult to find one that does what it promises while also providing optimum health benefits.
Many toothpastes claim to whiten teeth, protect you from tartar, or strengthen weak teeth, but how can you tell if the toothpaste you're choosing is as good as the box claims? Is fluoride safe? Are there alternatives to abrasive whitening toothpastes? Gel or paste? These are all legitimate questions to ask when choosing a toothpaste. Some fall to preference, others to science.
What to Look for in a Toothpaste
It is important to look for a toothpaste that meets your needs and desires. Common things to look for:
1/ The ADA seal of approval This indicates that your toothpaste has met the rigorous standards of the American Dental Association.
2/ Fluoride Despite claims that fluoride is unsafe at any level, the FDA and ADA have determined that the fluoride in toothpaste is not sufficient enough to cause any adverse health effects. Additionally, fluoride toothpaste acts to strengthen teeth and fight decay. Fluoride works to remineralize acid caused by bacteria, and can actually reverse the symptoms of tooth decay.
3/ Tartar Control Tartar is hardened plaque that accumulates on teeth that can cause decay and be terribly difficult to remove. Ingredients such as zinc citrate have been proven effective in combating tartar. Some tartar control toothpastes also contain triclosan, which has been proven to kill bacteria within the mouth. Using a tartar control toothpaste ensures a brighter smile, and less time spend in the dentist chair during cleanings.
Outside of these things, choosing a toothpaste relies heavily on personal choice. Natural toothpastes that have been ADA approved are a great option for people wanting to live a more natural lifestyle. Heavily flavored toothpastes may appeal to people wanting to combat bad breath. Fluoride-free, fruit flavored toothpastes are best for children who have not learned to spit their toothpaste out but still need to have good oral hygiene habits instilled.
Of course, no toothpaste alone is an adequate substitute for regular dental cleanings and checkups. Regular dental checkups help ensure your mouth remains decay and disease free. Professional cleanings remove the plaque from all areas of your mouth, allowing your toothpaste to start working in a clean environment.

GlaxoSmithKline has announced the introduction of a new product to help alleviate the pain of dentin hypersensitivity for young sufferers -- Sensodyne iso-active Multi Action Foaming Gel.
This new toothpaste is designed to provide patients with sensitivity relief, as well as the all-around benefits of a regular fluoride dentifrice, all in a foaming formula.
The product's iso-active technology generates more than twice the foam volume during brushing compared with ordinary toothpaste to provide rapid dispersion throughout the mouth. This allows the foam to penetrate hard-to-reach areas and deliver active ingredients to more of the tooth surfaces while helping to deep clean the mouth and effectively remove the causes of bad breath.
Additionally, Sensodyne iso-active is proven to reduce the pain of dentin hypersensitivity, even in hard-to-reach areas.
Data shows that dentin hypersensitivity affects one in three people between the ages of 20 and 40 in the United States. Yet only half of these people are actually treating the problem.
Recent results from a consumer insight study on sensitive teeth highlighted the reluctance of younger patients to treat their dentin hypersensitivity, revealing that younger sufferers believe traditional desensitizing toothpastes don't provide all the benefits they want from a toothpaste.
Dental professionals play an important role in helping educate younger patients on dentin hypersensitivity and how to effectively manage the condition with a simple brushing regimen.
Recommending a desensitizing toothpaste that also meets patients' all-around protection needs is a step for dental professionals to discuss with young sensitivity sufferers.

He could be called the “Bad Breath Bandit”.
Police in a Detroit suburb are looking for a bank robber who tellers say has crooked yellow teeth and particularly bad breath. The Detroit Free Press reports that Ferndale police say the man hit the same Charter One branch in October and again last week.
Lt William Wilson says tellers remember the man as tall, thin and “having very offensive breath and real yellow teeth.” Witnesses also say he looks and smells dirty.
Police say he showed bank employees a note that demanded money. He implied he had a gun but tellers didn’t see any weapon. The suspect escaped with about $1,000 in the latest robbery.
