Special Features: Industry-based research studies about halitosis have concentrated on it as a
cosmetic problem rather than a medical one. Drinking or rinsing with plain water
reduces bad breath for a brief period of time, so theoretically all mouth rinses
are somewhat effective. However, many mouth rinses only mask the problem and
provide temporary cosmetic relief without engaging the source of the problem.
Some patients claim they have halitosis, but actually do not. This
"halitophobia" can range in severity from someone worrying about bad breath and practicing obsessive masking and oral hygiene procedures but still carrying on normal life to cases of isolation, complete tooth extraction, and suicide.
