Bad Breath (simple halitosis)

Instructions for Patients©2022 SQUIGLE, Inc.

These instructions are provided as a guide to patients who have been diagnosed by a physician or dentist. These Instructions are the result of many discussions with patients, physicians, and dentists. They are not rigid and unchanging. Of course, we hope they work for you. But if they don't, please contact SQUIGLE, Inc. toll-free at 1-877-718-0718 (9 am to 5 pm EST).

This is very important: Use Squigle® or Tooth Builder Toothpaste exclusively. Patented Squigle is free of SLS (sodium lauryl sulfate) and other irritating ingredients which contribute to bad breath.
The flavor is mild to prevent irritation of delicate tissues. Squigle® has 36% Xylitol to prevent plaque and cavities better than regular toothpaste.

This is also crucial: Floss twice a day, before you brush. Use unwaxed floss. If your teeth are closely spaced, use Glide® floss.

Use a small headed, soft bristled brush. Apply Squigle® along the full length of your toothbrush. Brush for 2 minutes. When you are done brushing, gently brush your tongue (especially the back), the inside of your cheeks, and the roof of your mouth. Then rinse.

Don't use mouthwash but floss twice a day instead.

Don't smoke or use tobacco in any form.

Abstain from drinking coffee if possible, green tea is better.

If you chew gum, chew a 100% xylitol sweetened gum, such as Xylipro®. It is preferable to select fruit gum, not cinnamon or spearmint.

Take a multivitamin and multimineral daily, after a meal. In addition, take 500 mg to 1000 mg vitamin C daily.

At the very first sign of thirst, drink a glass of water, not sweetened drinks. Preferably, drink water frequently enough so that you don't get thirsty.

A prescription for a short course of antibiotic or antifungal therapy is OK.

Get sufficient rest each night.

If the halitosis persists see your ear, nose and throat doctor. Have them check your tonsils and adenoids for infection. If infected investigate the possibility of removing them.
