Volatile Sulfur Compounds Volatile sulfur compounds are the malodorous gaseous compounds in the mouth known as bad breath. These same compounds are the facilitators that help damaging bacteria penetrate the epithelium (the skin inside the mouth) and attack the tissue connecting tooth to bone and eventually attack the bone itself. Along the way, inflamed and bleeding gums plus deepening periodontal pockets are created.
Long the enemy of the dental office, volatile sulfur compounds introduce unpleasant aerosols into regular dental procedures. This not only makes the job of the dental professional less pleasant but it can seriously downgrade the desired result of the regular exam and cleaning.
What is the solution to this infuriating problem? Is there a preventive treatment that can neutralize the volatile sulfur compounds, rendering them odorless and harmless?
There is. It is found in a system developed by a leading periodontist, comprised of a toothpaste and oral rinse which, when used together twice a day, can rid the mouth of volatile sulfur compounds, and leave the mouth fresh and clean all day, every day.
The system is CloSYSII, a patented formulation based on stabilized chlorine dioxide, which chemically alters and nullifies volatile sulfur compounds while eliminating the bacteria that work with these odorous compounds to attack gum tissue.
