A 28 day study carried out on 14 adults with chronic bad breath has found out that brushing twice daily with an antibacterial toothpaste containing triclosan and scraping the tongue surface completely eliminated the problem of halitosis. At the beginning and end of the study, researchers measured mouth air levels of odor-causing bacteria and analyzed tongue scrapings for 20 species of bacteria known to cause bad breath. Almost all participants eliminated their halitosis after using this triclosan-containing toothpaste and a tongue cleaner.
