OPTION 1: Clinic Treatment - Halicheck
I developed Halicheck after consulting with various specialists around the world. I then developed the clinic protocol with a Japanese company that makes medical grade Gas Chromographs. These machines are considered the Gold Standard in measuring odours. There are fewer than 500 in the world, and Australian Breath Clinic has three of them. We have an extremely high success rate at our Sydney Clinic. The steps in the Halicheck Treatment are:
STEP 1: HALICHECK - Gas Chromograph Mouth Air Measurement
The Gas Chromograph breath reading is such an amazing step in understanding bad breath and why you may have a smell issue. A sample of air is taken from the mouth and put into the Halicheck machine. This air is broken down to over 50 different mouth gases and allows us to identify the volume of the main bad breath gases. The test takes 10 minutes and will give us a measurement of bad breath coming from the tongue surface, teeth and gums and from the back of the throat at the gag reflex line. HALICHECK is the Gold Standard in measuring Halitosis.
STEP 2: LIFESTYLE QUIZ - In depth analysis of your foods, medicines, daily activities and hygiene habits
Once we have determined the area where the bad breath bacteria are living, we need to work out why this imbalance occurred. Normally this is due to a lifestyle issue. It may be a cleaning error, or it can be overuse of mouthwash. It can even be foods or diets that you may undertake. I have developed an in depth quiz that examines all aspects of your hygiene protocol, medicine intake, illnesses, and food intake during the day. What you tell me on this quiz goes a long way in solving your Halitosis problem.
STEP 3: CLINICAL EXAMINATION - Periodontal and Dental Examination
I am a qualified dentist, who graduated in 1980 from Sydney University. I still run a full time dental practice. So the final step of the Bad Breath Consultation is to do a full examination on you and verify the findings of both the Halicheck Gas Chromograph and the in depth Lifestyle Quiz. This examination also enables me to determine if there are any dental issues that may be causing your problem, such as old restorations, impacted teeth and gum disease.
