Everyone suffers from occasional halitosis. Understanding the root cause is important for addressing and preventing the problem. Lumoral, developed by Finland's Koite Health Ltd, is a home-use oral health-enhancing device that is used in addition to regular tooth brushing. It treats and prevents serious gum infections while also helping combat harmful oral bacteria - a common cause of bad breath.

Halitosis is primarily caused by specific bacteria in the mouth, such as streptococci, which are also found in various infections in the body. Oral bacteria, especially those related to gum disease and periodontitis, can produce foul-smelling volatile sulphur compounds (VSCs) in the mouth and may also be a sign of gum inflammation.

Lumoral is an antibacterial and light-activated oral care method developed by Finnish researchers that is designed to be used in addition to regular tooth brushing. Supported by strong scientific evidence and the recommendations of a growing group of oral health professionals, Lumoral is attracting widespread international interest.

Lumoral treatment is suitable for everyone but is especially useful for individuals facing oral health challenges. The Lumoral method also freshens breath. Its antimicrobial effect targets bacteria on dental surfaces that cause inflammation but does not affect other oral mucosal bacteria.

Antibacterial Lumoral treatment slows down plaque formation and significantly reduces the number of bacteria that cause periodontitis. Adding antibacterial light-activated treatment to the daily oral hygiene routine enhances the effectiveness of oral cleaning and helps when traditional oral hygiene methods are insufficient.

Lumoral treatment is advantageous for all individuals, yet it demonstrates particular benefits for patient groups grappling with challenging conditions, such as caries, gum disease, periodontitis, and peri-implantitis.

Lumoral has undergone rigorous scientific development and has a proven antibacterial effect. It is classified as a Class II medical device and has received CE approval as well as the recommendation of the Finnish Association of Dental Hygienists (FADH).
