Fresh Breath
An estimated 40% of the US population experience chronic

The Halimeter is a scientific instrument which measures
volatile sulfur gases present in the oral environment. These gases are the etiology of bad
breath and a byproduct of food fueling bacterial metabolism.
Perio Temp is a diagnostic device to read elevated
temperatures of sulcus readings (gum pockets). This heat is an indicator of bacterial

Intra oral color cameras, along with a thorough discreet
patient history, will help treat malodor.
Bad breath is not unique. It is treatable. Effective
relief and home care will give us all fresher breath.
We can recommend the proper form of treatment or medical
