The 2 types of 'gold standard clinical setting' tests (seemingly according to the dental industry) for halitosis seem to currently be either use of the 'oralchroma' machine, or the 'halimeter'. A recent post demonstrated the oralchroma in use in a dental setting. The halimeter was probably the first such machines on the market, and was the original popular choice for dentists wishing to give patients the option of testing for halitosis in a dental practice. The general 'vibe' on the halitosis forums is that there doesn't seem much confidence in dentists for their condition, but for those wishing to at least be tested with cush a device, the halimeter website does at least have a list of dental clinics which own a halimeter. Presumably this is just a small selection of all such clinics who have a halimeter. At the moment, it is very unlikely that a dentist is aware of halitosis via metabolic odors, although the halimeter is set to detect certain sulfides.
