HOW TO STOP MORNING BREATH

Morning Breath is due to the growth of bacteria on the back of the tongue during the night. It is very simple to explain. When you sleep certain things happen.

Your saliva flow slows down. This slowdown means you are getting less oxygen to the back of your tongue and throat. This is a sign to the anaerobic bacteria to quickly start increasing in numbers and to start producing sulphur compounds. These sulphur compounds are actually what you taste when you wake up in the morning.
Mucous in the nasal area thickens. When this mucous thickens it tends to sit at the back of the throat. This mucous is an excellent food source for the anaerobic bad breath bacteria as it is very high in protein. The bacteria eat this mucous and make sulphur compounds as its waste material.
Your tongue falls to the back of your throat. This allows your tongue to be colonised and coated with the bacteria and sulphur compounds. That is why when you awake in the morning, you not only have morning breath but you also have a sour taste on your mouth.
Bacteria multiply during the night. Most people do not clean their tongue before sleep. This means they are going to sleep with a mouthful of bacteria. These bacteria breed a new generation every 4 to 6 hours. So when you wake in the morning you can have up to two or three new generations of bacteria in your mouth.

Simple Steps to Stop and Prevent Morning Breath
We have two excellent ways to stop Morning Breath. The BREEZECARE Treatment Kit is ideal in this situation as it involves populating the tongue with KFORCE Clean S. salivarius K12 bacteria that can fight against the bad breath bacteria that build up during the night and cause bad breath. In fact the KFORCE Clean mouthwash works best at night as sleep provides the least amount of tongue movement.

Secondly, another way to stop morning Breath is to use our BREEZECARE DRY MOUTH Mini Kit. This has our neutral pH Triclosan rinse and Breeze Morning Fresh Oral Gel. The interaction between these two products helps to promote low bacteria counts during the night and provide fresh breath on awakening.

Also, regardless of which option you choose, we recommend that you do the following:

Drink Before Sleep. We recommend drinking a glass of water before sleep to remove as much debris as possible from the throat area.
Tongue Clean. Bacteria build up on the tongue is the cause of Morning Breath. So the cleaner your tongue is before sleep, the less bad taste you will have in your mouth when you wake.

Added Steps for Post Nasal Drip Sufferers
If you suffer from Post nasal drip and or sinus problems then you also need to clean out your nasal area thoroughly before sleep and on awakening.

Before Sleep. Make sure to use the new FESS with EUCALYPTUS DECONGESTANT. This is not necessary every night but once or twice a week. It not only helps to open nasal airways for better breathing, but the Eucalyptus Oil will help to disinfect the nasal area.
When You Wake. Use the FESS NASAL WASH to clean out the accumulation of mucous that gathered in your throat and nasal area during the night. Again, this is not necessary every day, but on an "as need" basis. You will be the best judge of dosage.
