BreathAlert™ Breath Checker

New from Tanita is BreathAlert™, an innovative palm-size monitor that detects and measures the presence of annoying or embarrassing breath odors. Simply turn it on, breathe into the sensor, and a reading appears on the digital display — from no odor, slight odor, to moderate or strong odor.

Approximately 40 percent of the U.S. adult population has chronic bad breath. The level of odor in an individual`s breath will differ depending on the presence of bacteria; the amount of saliva, decay, or disease; stress; food or medication consumed; and basic oral hygiene. Certain forms of bad breath improve over time, but chronic bad breath cannot be cured.

The BreathAlert™ is available now in light blue or pure white. For more details, contact Tanita Corporation at (800) TANITA-8 or visit www.tanita.com.
