Bad breath breakthrough: how light therapy targets plaque bacteria

Traditional brushing can’t reach the bacterial biofilms causing persistent bad breath. New photodynamic therapy research shows 405nm blue light eliminates 99.998% of odour-producing plaque bacteria by targeting volatile sulphur compounds at their source. This precision treatment penetrates protective bacterial communities that conventional cleaning methods miss, offering a scientifically-backed solution for halitosis while supporting gum health and preventing cardiovascular complications linked to oral bacteria.
