Halitosis Diagnosis and Treatments
Basic Diagnosis
The first consultation is very thorough it is considered by the international forums of halitosis a “High Definition” diagnosis and it includes:
- Oral examination
- X-rays
- Saliva test to determine quantity ( all dry mouths release bad odor) and quality: acidity (PH)
- BANA TEST: incubator that detects bacteria immediately associated with periodontal disease.
TESTING FOR THE RED COMPLEX, PORPHYROMONAS GINGIVALIS, TREPONEMA DENTICOLA
BACTEROIDES FORSYTHUS (tannerella) testing for their enzymatic activity, which turns a test strip blue if positive. The test is fast, painless, and helps assess the risk of gum disease.
- Breath Test: Doble gas chromatography evaluation.
- State of the Art chromatographer “Halisens” device that projects volatile sulfur compounds (smelly oral gases) into a monitor scoring gases released by "bad bacteria".
- The new halimeter that scores gases released by "good bacteria"
- The chromatographers scores your breath instantly.
We measure your breath before and after the bacterium calibration (killing the correct amount of bacterium eliminates bad breath). The first measurement is to know what bacteria are in excess so we can calibrate exactly what is needed and also contrast it with the microscope findings.
MICROBIOME SCREENING are SWABS testing for :
1. Anaerobic bacteria gram+ (good bacteria, it sounds GOOD , but it’s not as it sounds, in this case, more bacteria even if they are “good” more gases (volatile sulfer compounds ) more bad breath. We are COMPLETELY AGAINST PROBIOTICS AND PREBIOTICS.
This is the reason why so many people are suffering from halitosis . Good bacteria “DO NOT” kill bad bacteria. Our immune system does ( white blood cells).
2. Fungus (mycosis)
3. Parasites
4. Larvae
A lot of the times we discover with the microscope reading some species that are very harmful and do not bring halitosis (bad breath) but need to be eliminated for our general health.
Oral DNA SALIVA TEST
It is performed for an extra cost when it is tested prior to the initial treatment. When the patient begins the treatment we include this extra bacterium search, we believe in “TEST DON’T GUESS” philosophy , it’s a precaution just in case test, not necessary and not needed to start with treatment but highly recommended.
If any dangerous bacterium is encountered, antibiotics will be prescribed.
Furthermore, we test for 11 very dangerous bacteria. Many times, very harmful species are detected and plenty of them do not even bring halitosis, but as we do swallow we also swallow bacterium that can cause lesions and diseases in diverse organs.
The names and last names of the bacterium we search for are:
1. Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans
2. Porphyromonas gingivalis ( bana – test also)
3. Tannerella Forsythia ( bana- test also)
4. Treponema Denticola ( bana – test also)
5. Eubacterium nodatum
6. Fusubacterium nucleatum /periodonticum
7. Prevotella intermedia
8. Campylobacter rectus
9. Peptostreptococcus (micromonas) micras
10. Eikenella corrodens
11. Capnocytophaga species gingivalis. Ochracea, sputugena)
No need to have bad breath to get tested, this is PREVENTION and early detection, just like when we have a blood test , the doctor indicates it to know if everything is well, or it’s not.
We also perform GENE TESTS:
Celsus one
Evaluates 8 gene markers associated with increased inflammation, a critical factor in the severity of periodontal disease, diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
OraRisk Caries
Screens for 3 types of harmful bacteria known to cause dental cavities.
OraRisk
Identifies all common species of yeast that cause thrush in people with normal or compromised immune system.
OraRisk HPV
Identifies 51 HPV genotypes and establishes increased risk for oral cancer.
(Helicobacter Pylori: we don’t screen for this bacterium but its highly recommended to be screened by the GI via an endoscopy)
Basic Treatments
( Not Limited To)
- Ultrasonic cleaning (many times periodontal cleaning treatment)
- Ozone therapy
- Ozonated products for home treatment.
Ozone is considered a holistic type of treatment, and it is definitely the “GOLD STANDARD ” for halitosis and dentistry in general , with ozone we do bacterium management and calibration.

How Do You Find the Right Bad Breath treatment?
The first step in treating halitosis is choosing the right specialist. At Florida Halitosis Center at Gables iSmile, Kendall iSmile, Lauderdale iSmile and Miami iSmile, we believe that an effective treatment begins with accurately identifying the source of your bad breath. Every patient is unique, and halitosis symptoms can stem from a variety of causes—ranging from oral health issues to underlying medical conditions.
That’s why our professional halitosis team performs a comprehensive evaluation, reviewing your complete medical and dental history, identifying any past remedies that failed, and examining health factors that could contribute to bad breath.
What is Halitosis?
The term halitosis comes from Latin—halitus meaning “breath” and -osis meaning “condition.” More commonly, it’s known as bad breath. While occasional bad breath can result from certain foods or poor oral hygiene, chronic halitosis is often a sign that something is wrong in the body.
In some cases, halitosis can indicate a more serious underlying condition, making early diagnosis essential. A thorough evaluation helps determine whether the cause is oral, systemic, or a combination of factors.
If you’re struggling with persistent bad breath, Florida Halitosis Center at Gables iSmile, Kendall iSmile, Lauderdale iSmile and Miami iSmile can help identify the cause and provide a lasting solution.
The Role of Anaerobic Bacteria
One of the most common causes of halitosis is an overgrowth of anaerobic bacteria—microorganisms that thrive in environments without oxygen. These bacteria often live beneath a white coating on the surface of the tongue, which is formed when tartar bonds to the tongue’s surface
Why Does My Tongue Appear White?
Everyone develops some degree of tongue coating daily, just as we naturally produce saliva or urine. However, in people with retentive tongues—where taste buds vary in height—tartar is more likely to bond and remain trapped, allowing bacteria to thrive. These bacteria release volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs), which are the foul-smelling gases responsible for bad breath.
At Florida Halitosis Center at Gables iSmile, Kendall iSmile, Lauderdale iSmile and Miami iSmile, we specialize in identifying the exact cause of halitosis, whether it’s due to bacterial imbalance, oral conditions, or systemic health issues, for these reasons we created a customized treatment plan to eliminate the problem at its source.
