Does It Make Sense To Use A Bad Breath Detector?
I regularly am sent emails from readers asking me if bad breath detectors truly work. They want to know what I think about them.
Have you ever had a bad breath detector? Do you understand what they are designed to do?
If you look online you will see that they are usually hand held devices that you can breathe into in order to allow it to evaluate your breath. Generally there is an LED light that will illuminate if you are having a problem.
When you use it, depending upon the model --- you will, by and large, get distinctive colored lights that suggest different types of odor on the breath. It is common for a red light indicates BAD - a green light means GOOD, and there might even be yellow and orange lights indicating borderline types of breath detected.
How, exactly, do they do what they do? Darned if I know. I imagine I am like most people and don't really care how they work. You only care that they really work.
How much? By and large around $20. Some may run as high as $50 or $60, but generally those may also have a built in breathalyzer to measure a person's alcohol level.
Should I buy one?
That is entirely up to you. If you think $20 is a small price to pay, and the bad breath detector gives you peace of mind - go for it. Why not?
On the other hand, there is an easy breath test you can perform by breathing onto the your hand, preferably the back of your hand and taking a whiff. Another way is to sniff your wrist after you lightly lick it.
You will know if your breath is bad after you take these two quick tests. The first test is specifically for the most common types of bad breath, the second of the tests is particularly designed to let you know if your saliva is causing bad breath.
More importantly, at least in my opinion, is what preventative measures are you taking to prevent bad breath? You must understand your fundamental bad breath cause.
Many I speak to are not aware of it, over the counter mouth rinse formulas have a high alcohol content, which is not good!
This is bad because alcohol dries out the mouth, and dry mouth is a very common cause of bad breath. Alcohol is not an effective bad breath remedy.
When researching my book, The Bad Breath Treatment Guide, I learned that bad breath for most folks is brought about by one of these elements:
Choice of Diet
Dental Practices
Dried Mouth
Extreme Diets
Nose & Throat Infections
Stress
Also, in a fraction of the cases, bad breath can be brought about by chronic disease.
The very best bad breath treatment is a simple organic home cure that really works.
