Our bad breath treatment is for any person having problems related to bad breath, dry mouth or bad taste in their mouths. Our speciality are persons who have halitosis despite having good oral hygiene (bad breath afther brushing, regular use of mouthwashes, tongue cleaner, dental floss), his/her dentist has told them that their mouths are healthy, to refrain from eating smelly food, and apparently that they do not suffer from any disease which is the underlying cause of bad breath.
Although the vast majority of people think that halitosis or bad breath can only be the result of poor hygiene (or a stomach problem), the truth is that there are over 80 causes of bad breath and most are not related to the mouth. This is why it is not surprising that many people continue to have bad breath although with good oral hygiene and do not suffer from dental or stomach problems.
Therefore, after an exhaustive research of over 5 years, the team headed by Dr. Nunes has developed the Arthyaga® protocol in order to determine what is the reason which causes of bad breath in the patient (through specific breath molecular analysis tests) and to provide an individual bad breath solution focused on the causes of bad breath (undisguised). Several European academic authorities have confirmed that the Arthyaga® protocol obtains a total permanent remission in 97% of the cases (and partial remission in the remaining 3%).
Nowadays, the continuing effectiveness of remote bad breath treatment is 97%, the same as that obtained in the face-to-face consultations. In the remaining 3% of cases there is partial improvement. In recent years we have performed remote bad breath treatment with patients from over 50 countries, however, these patients were forced to come to our centre in Barcelona in order to leave their biological samples (exhaled air, saliva and bacteria) for to know the causes of bad breath and afterwards the remote consultations were carried out. Nowadays, thanks to the development of an innovative samples collection and transport system (our diagnostic kit: Arthyaga Box®), our patients can collect their samples in their municipality and send them to our headquarters in order to diagnose what is the reasons for bad breath and to prescribe the effective bad breath treatment, without the need of having to come to Barcelona.
Practically all medicines and/or clinical procedures necessary for the cure of bad breath are available in pharmacies and medical centres in any country whatsoever. What is fundamental or is the key to success in the bad breath treatment is to know the causes of the bad breath. Should it be necessary to supplement the treatment with any medical procedure or a drug which does not exist in the country of the patient, we advise our patients as regards everything which may be required and needed.
