How Is Halitosis Examined at Halitorium?
The exam takes around 2 hours and includes following tests:
• Detailed medical history
• Saliva pH and volume
• Chemosensory dysfunction testing
• Static mouth odor
watch
• Nasal odor
watch
• Breath odor
watch
• Olfactometric test
watch
• Artificial halitosis induction to detect halitosis production capacity
• Decrease halitosis to detect minimum level of halitosis
Some of the above steps may be skipped if deemed unnecessary. Or additional tests may be conducted if necessary. These adjustments will not alter the pricing.
For privacy reasons, no secretary will be present during the examination. You will be alone with the doctor. Your medical records will remain confidential and will not appear in anywhere.
Gases Measured

✍🏼

No Complete Treatment Expected
No complete treatment for halitosis is done at the Halitorium clinic in every halitosis case. Only the cause, source, and type of the odor are identified, and the source of the odor is documented with a report. To receive treatment, this report must be submitted to related practitioner. This report obtains the right path to healing.
Honestly, one doctor cannot specialize in gastroenterology, dentistry, nephrologist, otolaryngologist, pneumotolog, immunolog, and internal medicine simultaneously. It is impossible for one doctor to treat all types of halitosis . If a doctor promises, suggests, or implies that he can treat *all* halitosis issues regardless of the cause, it is a misleading claim that should be questioned.
Nobody is superman.
