Frequently Asked Questions

As with all things, you really do get what you pay for. TheraBreath products are produced in small, carefully crafted batches in our pharmaceutical grade laboratory. In addition, even though we are not required to, we produce our products to meet or exceed the standards set for prescription grade products. All of our toothpastes and oral rinses are produced and bottled in the USA so we can ensure consistent, high quality and deliver you the freshest, most effective product possible. Finally, our proprietary, stabilized ingredients are derived from specially selected raw materials provided only by carefully monitored "best in class" vendors.

Because of this fanatical devotion to high quality, our prices can be somewhat higher than ordinary toothpastes and mouthwashes. However, our research has shown that consistent use of TheraBreath Oral Care products will lead to better overall oral health and a long term savings on dentist visits. So while you might spend a little more at the register, you can spend a lot less time in the dentist chair. Which would you prefer?

You are not imagining anything. There are odors that can be detected in some cases as they emanate from the nostrils. This type of odor is due to mucus in the nasal passage and its reaction to bacteria in the nostrils (not in the sinus). It may also be a by-product of the reaction between mucus, post nasal drip, or allergies in the area beyond the sinus (in the naso-pharyngeal area and the throat/tonsil area). The solution is quite simple - TheraBreath Nasal Sinus Drops are the only oxygenating/zinc formula to attack this type of problem.

Simply put, you can't give bad breath to someone else. The bacteria that create this problem are actually good bacteria and are part of the normal oral flora (the mix of bacteria that you need to function properly). It's possible that the bacteria in your boyfriend's mouth (tongue, throat, tonsils) are reacting to his dry mouth, which could have been created by smoking, medication, or alcohol (in beer and wine). Tell him about TheraBreath and both of you will soon be able to kiss with confidence.

Now, that's a good question! In my opinion (and based on helping tens of thousands of people who have suffered with bad breath) tongue scraping by itself is NOT the answer. In fact, I have seen dozens of cases in my clinics where people have just scraped too hard and for too long, resulting in damage..painful tongue, dry tongue and burning tongue!

We prefer to use the tongue cleaner as an application device with a very gentle cleansing motion on the tongue from the back to the front. This helps to apply the TheraBreath Toothpaste below the tongue's surface to where the bacteria actually live. The bacteria can not live ON the tongue surface - remember they are anaerobes and by definition, can't survive on the surface.

Those little round globules are known as Tonsiloliths and they are most definitely related to bad breath and sour taste. They are created by sulfur gases produced by these bacteria (which are located across from the tonsils in the throat area). The sulfur gas mixes with the mucus and thick saliva in the back of your throat and after a period of time, condense into these concentrated, odorous globs. They are only present when one has tonsils, but not in all cases

I have had many patients who have actually had their tonsils removed due to misinformation from physicians about this problem. Of course, these patients still had bad breath after having the tonsillectomy, because BAD BREATH DOES NOT START IN THE TONSILS (only on the back of the tongue)! Bad breath can branch off into the tonsils secondarily.

Important: To reduce bad breath (if you have Tonsiloliths) here's what my patients tell me they have done to solve this problem:

Swallow 1-2 capfuls of the solution created with the AktivOxigen tablets before bedtime. They say that it feels as if the odor and lousy taste are neutralized as the Rinse solution passes the tonsil area. To read more, go to https://www.therabreath.com/tonsil-stones

No. Bad breath gets worse when you have post nasal drip because the anaerobic, sulfur-producing bacteria that cause bad breath live and breed on the back of the tongue and in the throat. They feed on the excess mucous in your throat and break it down into sulfide molecules which cause bad breath and bitter, sour tastes.

The correct way to fight bad breath due to post nasal drip is to use a combination of our TheraBreath Nasal Sinus Drops and AktivOxigen Serum which use oxygenation to kill the anaerobic bacteria that cause bad breath in the sinuses and throat.

Fluoride helps strengthen the natural ability of your teeth to repair against tooth decay. Fluoride also slows down the formation of acids that cause tooth decay. However the decision to use fluoride is a personal one, and that's why we offer both versions.

Thrush is an overgrowth of the specific bacteria "Candida" and can appear as a coated tongue. However, Thrush can appear anywhere within the oral cavity and is associated with underlying medical problems such as diabetes or HIV disease as well as use of certain medications including broad-spectrum antibiotics and topical or systemic corticosteroids. See your doctor for a proper diagnosis.

A simple coated tongue is a common condition and is an overgrowth of the normal fibers of the tongue which trap bacteria and debris which can cause bad breath.

Tonsil Stones (tonsilloliths) are yellowish globs caused by an accumulation of anaerobic, sulfur producing bacteria and debris that become lodged in the tonsils. This debris, which can include mucus from post nasal drip, putrifies in the back of your throat and collects in the tonsil crypts (small pockets on the surface of the tonsils). They are a persistent source of bad breath and can sometimes be painful.

Eliminating Tonsil Stones is actually a very simple process. TheraBreath offers two different Tonsil Stones Kits that are guaranteed to quickly and effectively combat the bacteria that cause this embarrassing problem. To read more, go to https://www.therabreath.com/tonsil-stones

The only way to effectively stop these bacteria from producing these Volatile Sulfur Compounds, is to use an Oxyd-8 based product. No other compounds will perform this action. The bacteria reproduce every 10-12 hours and that is why the treatment must be done throughout the day. After several months, there is a residual effect, whereby the medication has a longer lasting feeling. Some patients are then able to get by with performing the procedure only twice daily, however, for the best results, most perform the procedures three times daily.

Many patients use between 2-3 bottles of rinse per month. A large toothpaste lasts about 5-6 weeks. If you stop, the problems will come back again because the bacteria will recognize the difference in the oral environment within a few days. TheraBreath products were designed to become your daily oral hygiene system , you'll never need to use other products.

Yes. All TheraBreath products are completely gluten free.

CoQ10 (Coenzyme Q10) is a vitamin-like substance also known as Ubiquinone. It functions as an antioxidant to prevent free-radical damage at the cellular level and is vital for cellular energy production. CoQ10 is found naturally in many foods (sardine, mackerel, spinach, broccoli). Many significant studies have shown CoQ10 to be effective for treating gum disease and improving gum health.

Some people may notice that certain foods and even water may taste different after first using TheraBreath products. This is most likely because of a highly acidic oral environment. TheraBreath is pH Neutral, meaning that it neutralizes excess oral acids. This change is what is causing the change in taste perception. The good news is that this is a sign that TheraBreath is working, and the change in taste perception is only temporary. Typically, within a week of first use your sense of taste will return to normal as your mouth acclimates to its new, less acidic oral environment.

TheraBreath Plus is our extra strength version of TheraBreath Regular. It contains a higher percentage of all active ingredients as well as the addition of ZincRx, Tea Tree Oil, and CoQ10.

TheraBreath Aktiv-K12 Probiotics works in two steps. First it reduces the number of bad breath causing bacteria living in your mouth. It then recolonizes your mouth with good bacteria known as Streptococcus Salivarius K12 to help prevent regrowth of bad breath causing bacteria.

TheraBreath Toothpaste and Oral Rinse are designed to work together as a two step process to knock out bad breath producing bacteria and their odors. The TheraBreath Oral Rinse reacts with the Toothpaste in a patented Oxygenating process to thoroughly clean your mouth. Rinsing the Toothpaste out of your mouth prior to introducing the Oral Rinse disrupts this process and makes the regimen far less effective. While it may take a bit to get used to not rinsing with water, we are sure you will be very impressed with the results once you do.
