Plumbers are notorious for creating smells while they work. Whether cutting into a sewer for a new connection or disconnecting a toilet or grey water pump that has remnants of last night’s dinner. (bleugh)
Some plumbers smell themselves because they’ve been covered in all manner of effluent.
The smells plumbers can control are their own bodily ones. Come to mention it, everyone can control their own body odour by practicing good hygiene – daily showers, antiperspirant deodorant under the armpits, wearing new undies every day, washing clothes when they reek, farting in the toilet (not always practical, but much appreciated) and brushing teeth to keep bad breath at bay.
But bad breath is not as easy to fix by just brushing your teeth.
Bad breath is caused by a number of different factors, and most people won’t tell you you have it unless they’re really close to you and can’t stand the smell that permeates from your mouth when you talk to them.
Bad breath is usually caused by a number of different scenarios which include:
- Bacteria that likes to congregate in your mouth
- Bad Oral Hygiene and Periodontitis
- Dry mouth
- Smoking
- Eating food that has garlic, onion and/or spices
- Reflux
- Chronic Sinusitis
- Tonsel Stones
It can be hard to pinpoint the exact cause of bad breath. Until now.
Brisbane Dentist, Robert Duhig, offers a breath analysis through the use of the Oral Chroma (aka the Halicheck) which can pinpoint the cause of your bad breath. The Oral Chroma is a breath analyser that is 100 times more sensitive than the human nose. This new technology is helping dentists find the direct source of bad breath in patients, which allows them to tailor make a treatment plan.
Robert Duhig explains via his dental website how the analysis works:
The Breath Test is very simple and easy to do. We put a syringe (there is no needle attached) into your mouth while you breathe normally through your nose. It stays in your mouth for a minute then we suck up the Breath sample which is then injected into the Oral Chroma Breath Testing Machine. It takes about 5 minutes to analyse the sample after which we can show you the results and even print them out for you to take home.
The process is simple and pain-free.
