TheraBreath (brand)

TheraBreath is a brand of oral hygiene products developed by Dr. Harold Katz in 1994. The brand's product line includes mouthwash, toothpaste, breath spray, and lozenges aimed at eliminating bad breath, also known as halitosis. TheraBreath products are marketed with an emphasis on neutralizing sulfur-producing bacteria, which are often the cause of bad breath, rather than simply masking odors.

History

Dr. Harold Katz, a dentist and bacteriologist, founded TheraBreath in 1994 after his own daughter confronted him about her problem with bad breath, which motivated him to research and develop solutions for halitosis. The brand has since grown to offer a wide range of products targeting various aspects of oral hygiene, including gum health and dry mouth.

Products

TheraBreath's product line has expanded over the years to include a variety of oral care solutions:

• Mouthwash: The original TheraBreath Oral Rinse is alcohol-free and uses oxygenating agents to combat bacteria that produce sulfur compounds in the mouth.
• Toothpaste: TheraBreath toothpaste is designed to work in conjunction with the mouthwash to provide a complete oral hygiene routine.
• Breath Spray: For on-the-go freshening, TheraBreath offers a breath spray that targets bad breath bacteria.
• Lozenges: TheraBreath's lozenges are intended to help stimulate saliva production, which is beneficial for those suffering from dry mouth, and to provide fresh breath.

Technology and Ingredients

A key feature of TheraBreath products is the use of oxygenating compounds, such as OXYD-8 (a stabilized form of ClO2), which is designed to target and neutralize the bacteria responsible for bad breath. The products are formulated to be pH balanced to further inhibit bacterial growth and are free from alcohol and artificial flavors or colors, which can exacerbate dry mouth and other oral health issues.

Market and Distribution

TheraBreath products are available in the United States and internationally, sold through various retail outlets and online platforms. The brand has established itself as a leader in the oral hygiene market, particularly in the niche of products specifically designed to combat bad breath.

Reception

TheraBreath has received positive reviews from both consumers and dental professionals for its effectiveness in managing bad breath and improving overall oral health. Its approach to targeting the root causes of bad breath, rather than merely masking odors, has been highlighted as a key factor in its success.
