The Bad Breath Blog

Dry mouth is one of the prime causes of bad breath, but not everyone has control over the moisture level of their palate. Besides being caused by smoking, aerobic exercise, heavy panting, anxiety or mouth breathing, a dry tongue may also be the result of Sjogren’s syndrome. Fortunately, TheraBreath makes a specialty product that can address bad breath caused by an arid palate.

An autoimmune disorder, Sjogren’s syndrome recently made headlines in the world of tennis. Venus Williams, widely considered to be one of the best female tennis players of all time, pointed to the condition as the reason for her late withdrawal from the U.S. Open Tournament.

The 31-year-old winner of two Open titles noted that she was relieved to finally have a diagnosis for her previously unexplained symptoms, which included exhaustion, joint pain, dry mouth, swollen fingers and itchy eyes, according to the Chicago  Tribune.

These are, in fact, some of the most common indicators of Sjogren’s syndrome, a condition that has previously received little media attention.

What causes this disease? Well, it is not a “disease” in the strict sense, since it is not caused by bacteria, viruses or other pathogens. Instead, says the Mayo Clinic, Sjogren’s syndrome is an autoimmune reaction, in which the body attacks some of its own cells, starting with the glands  responsible for keeping the eyes wet and the mouth moist.

Coolestmommy’s Coolest Thoughts has a really great Lozenges story in her TheraBreath review and giveaway. She writes, “I’ve been battling a sinus infection off and on since February. One symptom I have is lots and lots of coughing. I’m so sick of cough drops I could gag on them. I started using the Mouth Wetting Lozenges in lieu of cough drops off and on during the day. It was nice to have a decent flavor, know I was wetting my mouth and throat and still fighting off the incredibly bad breath being caused by the infection. While it didn’t always stop my cough (not what they are designed to do), it was just nice to have something other than a cough drop in my mouth.” But that’s not all, head over to her blog by clicking here to get the full details on this Coolest Mommy’s thoughts about TheraBreath. She’s also hosting a giveaway for one full size bottle of our oral rinse – completely free!

Inspired Langley explains the science behind our Multi Symptom Probiotics. “First I would like to let you in on a few facts about Probiotic Treatment. Scientific research has proven that a healthy level of ‘good’ bacteria in the body can be very beneficial. Naturally we all have this ‘good’ bacteria helping us in many bodily functions. We all have different levels of this bacteria and the lower level people seem to be more susceptible to various illnesses. So let’s crank the level of ‘good’ bacteria right? Right.” We couldn’t have said it better ourselves! Stop by her review and giveaway here to read the rest of her thoughts (it’s super thorough and helpful) and enter for a chance to win some TheraBreath of your own.

Cinny BBS is the proud owner of Whirlwind of Surprises. She has posted her first TherBreath review and giveaway. She gives her thoughts on our TheraBreath Oral Rinse, Toothpaste and TheraBreath’s Mouth-Wetting Lozenges. Our timing couldn’t have been more perfect! “A couple years back, I had a really bad problem with my breath but the worst part was that I really had no clue that it was going on. To me, everything was normal. It wasn’t until my family noticed and said something that I realized how bad it was. ..It turns out I had chronic sinusitis so once that was treated, my bad breath went away. However, recently, I wasn’t feeling so hot and that bad breath started coming back again. This ended up being perfect timing when TheraBreath initiated contact with me and was wonderful about doing a review for them.” Did we help Cinny BBS out? Or was her skepticism justified?

April writes, “Bless my youngest son’s heart – he deals with several oral health issues. He’s very cavity prone, unlike the rest of us. In addition, he often is battling several canker sores or even cold sores. He currenty has cavities on several baby teeth that the dentist has decided to just let fall out rather than fill. Sometimes they ache. He seemed the perfect candidate for this process.” Yes we agree, her son was definitely ideal for our probiotics. But did they work? What did he think? What does she think?
