DR. HAROLD KATZ,
Doctor of Dentistry and Renowned Breath Expert

Dr. Harold KatzDr. Harold Katz, a Los Angeles-based doctor of dentistry, began his search for a bad breath cure back in 1993 when his teenage daughter complained of a problem with “morning breath.”

In an effort to find a cure that really worked (as opposed to common mouthwashes, mints and toothpastes that simply mask bad breath), Dr. Katz conducted extensive research into the source of the problem. He learned that contrary to popular myths, bad breath does not originate in the stomach, nor is bad breath eliminated by simply brushing harder or more frequently. The source of “bad breath” is derived from anaerobic bacteria that live and breed throughout the oral cavity - in the cracks between the fibers that make up the tongue, and between the teeth and gums. He discovered that under certain conditions, such as neglecting to floss daily to clean between teeth, dry mouth and post-nasal drip, the anaerobic bacteria release Volatile Sulfur Compounds (VSC) that lead to bad breath.

Wanting to provide a solution to his daughter and the general public, Dr. Katz used his findings to develop a cure that addresses the real causes of bad breath whether it is chronic or not. Since then, Dr. Katz founded The California Breath Clinics and has successfully treated thousands of people who suffer from bad breath problems.

Through his popularity on the internet, Dr. Katz has been able to solve the misunderstood malady of bad breath for many people outside the U.S. His popularity has brought requests from all over the world. Starting in 1998, he has lectured on his ground-breaking clinical therapies and on his patented TheraBreath formulas to professionals and the public in Singapore, the Philippines, Japan, England, Mexico, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Belgium, and soon in Brazil.

Dr. Katz is a graduate of the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) with degrees in both Dentistry & Bacteriology. He has been interviewed on over 100 TV programs such as The View, 20/20, The Today Show, WABC, WCBS, WGN, KABC, KCBS, etc., and on over 400 radio programs worldwide, including National Public Radio, BBC, New Zealand National Radio, Malaysian Public Radio, and on many major talk radio stations in the U.S. In addition, he is frequently quoted and interviewed for print publications including Allure, Glamour, Redbook, Men’s Fitness, Men’s Health, Penthouse, The New York Times, LA Times, Daily News, Sacramento Bee, and other major daily newspapers.

As Dr. Katz says, “No one has smelled more bad breath than I have, but I’ve also helped more people regain their confidence than any other doctor on this planet.”

He lives in Los Angeles with his wife Magda, a 2nd Grade teacher, and his four children, one of whom will soon become a dental hygienist.
