America is awash in breath freshening products. But many people need
more than a mint or swig of mouthwash to keep bad breath at bay.
SOT: Pete Thompson / Breath Clinic Patient
"We went to the men's room and he told me that I had a breath problem,
he said, I'm a good friend, that's why I'm telling you."
At the Richter Center in Philadelphia..one of a growing number of breath
disorder clinics in this country..patients like Pete Thompson can kiss
halitosis good bye forever.
SOT : Alan Richter, DDS
"The mouth is the seat of knowledge and the seat of one's personality.
And if that part of your personality is objectionable to other people
than that leaves the impression they are objectionable."
GRFX
Contrary to what many people think bad breath does not come from your
stomache. It's caused by a type of bacteria that live on the soft
tissues of the mouth, where they produce sulfur gasses that smell like
rotten eggs.
(NATS)
Patients undergo three tests to determine if the bacteria are present.
In the first step patients breathe into a machine called a halimater
which meaures the sulphur compounds. Next and we're not kidding is the
sniff test and finally swabbing the back of the mouth.
Stand Up: Gretchen Carlson / "The Saturday Early Show"
"The swab is then put into a container like this one to see if the
bacteria that causes bad breathe is actually present. Now if the
container turns a yellowish brown like this one, well, it means that you
have pretty bad breath."
If the bacterias are detected as in Pete's case, Dr. Richter performs a
short sand blasting like procedure to remove them.

"Pete let me just check your breath, breath out for me, that's great we
got all the odor out."
