The chlorine is kept stabilized because only one oxygen detaches from the chlorine molecule. The oxygen which detaches from the chlorine then attaches to the VSCs. This causes the VSCs to become inactive. In addition, recent studies have shown that it may be these volatile sulfur compounds which also carry some responsibility for halitosis. Careful diagnosis of halitosis must be carried out before proper treatment can be rendered, however.
Proper diagnosis is critical.
We are learning more about halitosis every day. More research needs to be done regarding detection, diagnosis, and treatment, however. I have personally sampled Oxyfresh products. I plan to distribute them to seleced patients soon. The taste and foaming action of the toothpaste is acceptable.
