Tell me specifically, how Tri0ral works. How does it prevent the bacteria from creating new odors?
Bad breath odor is caused by anaerobic or oxygen-hating bacteria. As these bacteria metabolize (eat) amino acids contained in proteins, they produce sulfur-containing gases. The zinc found in TriOral binds to the protein receptor sites on the bacteria which normally attract the amino acids. When TriOral attaches to the receptor sites, the amino acids are prevented from binding to the sites and being metabolized into the sulfur compounds. The binding of the receptor sites remains for the life of the bacteria. Rinsing regularly twice daily with TriOral can prevent new, bacterially-generated odor formation for 12 hours after each use.
