HOW TO KNOW IF YOU HAVE BAD BREATH
TEST your own breath at home include:
1. The Cotton Test: Wipe the top surface of your tongue with a piece of cotton gauze and smell it. This is probably the most honest way. Also, if you notice a yellowish stain on the cotton, it's likely that you have an elevated sulphide production level.
2. The Lick Test: Lick the back of your hand. Let that dry for about 10 seconds and then smell it. If you notice an odor, you may have a breath disorder because the sulphur salts from your tongue have been transferred to your hand after the liquid has evaporated.
3. The Dental Floss Test: Run a piece of dental floss between your back teeth (this is the mostly likely place where you may get food caught) and then smell the floss. This may be an indication of the level of odours others detect.
4. The Mirror Test: Stand in front of the mirror and stick your tongue out as far as possible. If you notice that the very back of your tongue is whitish, it may be a sign that you have bad breath.
5. The Observation Test: Judge the reaction of others when you interact with them. If people are visibly stepping away then it may be time to do something about it.
6. The Ask Test: Ask the opinion of someone you can trust (a good friend, a spouse, even your kids). Ask them to check your breath several times daily because breath changes throughout the day.
: It is Impossible to get Bad Breath or Get Disturbed in the Middle of a Kiss or During Kissing, Because the Sense of Smell Shuts Down when Kissing, so While organizing that trip to the Dentist Don't Stop The Kisses.
(Kissing makes you feel happy, positive and less stressed because it releases endorphins and oxytocin. According to relationship therapist Dr. Krista A. Bloom, our lips are super- sensitive and have approximately 10,000 nerve endings – and that’s why we love kissing so much.)
