Halitosis Treatment Market Trends, COVID-19 Impact, Business Opportunities, Strategies, Key Players Analysis and Forecast
Bad
breath, also known as halitosis, is a common issue that can cause significant
psychological distress. Halitosis can be caused by a variety of factors, and it
can be treated in a variety of ways. After gum disease and tooth decay, the
rising prevalence of halitosis is one of the most common reasons for people
seeking dental care. The best way to prevent halitosis is to practice good oral
hygiene. Halitosis can be detected using a heliometer, gas chromatography, BANA
test, or Beta-galactosidase test, among other devices and tests. The BANA test
measures levels of a specific enzyme produced by halitosis-causing bacteria,
whereas the halimeter device detects low levels of sulfur. The volatile sulfur
compounds dimethyl sulfide, hydrogen sulfide, and methyl mercaptan are
measured using a gas chromatography test.
The halitosis
treatment market is being driven by rising tobacco and alcohol
consumption, medical conditions such as tonsils and inflammation of the nose,
throat, or sinuses, and metabolic diseases. According to a 2013 study by the
National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), halitosis is extremely common,
affecting roughly half of the global population.
Surgical,
pathologic, and endodontic factors, such as exposed tooth pulps and non-vital
teeth with a fistula draining into the mouth, oral cavity pathologies,
ulcerations, oral cancer, healing/extraction wounds, or prosthetics, are all
likely contributors to halitosis. All of these factors lead to plaque or food
retention, amino acid decay, decreased saliva flow, increased bacterial
numbers, and tissue breakdown. Halitosis was caused by the release of volatile
compounds as a result of these conditions.
Treatment
for bad breath varies depending on the cause. For example, halitosis caused by
bacteria (plaque) buildup on teeth can be treated with a bacteria-killing
mouthwash. Furthermore, halitosis caused by gum disease can be treated with
tooth cleaning procedures.
Some of
the leading players in the global halitosis treatment market include
Colgate-Palmolive Company (US), Listerine (US), Rowpar Pharmaceuticals, Dr.
Harold Katz, LLC (US), All USA Partners LLC (US), Inc. (US), Abbott (US), and
AstraZeneca (US).
