History.
The TheraBreath oral care products were created by Dr. Harold Katz in 1993 to help his daughter, who had bad breath; he quit his dental practice shortly after TheraBreath became a success. From its original chlorine dioxide formulation included in its toothpaste and oral rinse, TheraBreath has expanded to a line of oral care products that treats sources of bad breath including the tongue, throat, gum tissue, and tonsils. The products include toothpastes, oral rinses, sprays, drops, gum and lozenges. The company's products use chlorine dioxide (ClO2), a compound which generates oxygenation in the mouth, inhibiting the ability of anaerobic bacteria to multiply, while converting existing sulfur compounds into non-odorous and non-tasting sulfate salts.
