The Bad breath story.
Bad Breath Remember if you need help www.oraltech.com.au immediately. Some of the best known words and phrases in use today can be traced directly back to advertising campaigns. The phrase 'always a bridesmaid, never a bride,' was actually created as part of a 1930's ad campaign for Listerine mouthwash. Prior to that Listerine was used as a floor cleaner. It seems someone at Listerine having a bad taste in there mouth and having only a bottle of Floor Cleaner near by decided to give it a gargle and the rest is history. Unfortunately the alcohol in Listerine and most other mouth washes dries the mouth and turns bad breath into awful breath. On top of that research has shown a link between long term use of mouth washes and other mouth ailments. Listerine can also lay claim to the origins of the world 'halitosis.' Despite its Latin sounding heritage, halitosis is actually a combination of the Latin halitus, meaning 'breath' and the Greek ending 'osis' often used to describe a medical condition, e.g. 'Cirrhosis of the liver'. The term 'halitosis' was introduced by Listerine in 1921. But bad breath is not a modern affliction; it has been causing embarrassment for thousands of years. Records mentioning bad breath have been discovered more than 3,000 years ago, all the way back in 1550BC. Back then exactly what caused bad breath was not known, but a mouthwash of wine and herbs was one recommended way of solving the problem. Today it is known that bacteria are the major cause of bad breath. Microbiologists estimate that there are around 400 different types of bacteria living in the mouth, with the total population reaching into the hundreds of millions. Halitosis Halitosis, or most commonly bad breath are terms used to describe noticeably unpleasant odors exhaled in breathing whether the smell is from an oral source due to bacteria or otherwise. Halitosis has a significant impact personally and socially on those who suffer from it or believe they do (halitophobia), and is estimated to be the third most frequent reason for seeking dental aid, following tooth decay and periodontal disease.
