bad breath or just imagining it ?!
Question: Bad breath or just imagining it ?
how can you tell if you have bad breath or just think you do, how far away from you must someone be to smell your breath ?
Answers:
Ask someone close to you that will be honest with you whether they think you have bad breath. We all have bad breath sometimes, but some people have it all of the time due to bacteria on your tongue, or due to periodontal disease. Some bad breath is even caused my diseases not even related to your mouth at all.
The type of bad breath will determine how far away someone must be to smell it. Bad breath caused by periodontitis (the disease that gingivitis could progress to if left untreated, which includes bone loss) is a very distinct and strong smell. It is known as "perio breath" in the dental field and once you smell it one time in your life, you will forever be able to catch the smell even from conversations with people from a short distance.
Do you brush your tongue? Or use a tool called a "tongue scraper" to clean your tongue? Most of the bacteria in your mouth is on your tongue. This bacteria produces by-products that can cause bad breath. This is probably the most common, and most preventable cause of bad breath. Even if you brush and floss everyday, if you are not cleaning your tongue, you could still have bad breath. Go to a local drug store and purchase a tongue cleaner (as you should not be cleaning your tongue with the same thing you are cleaning your teeth with because of all the bacteria) and try using that for a while. Ask that same friend after a couple of weeks of using the tongue cleaner, if you still have bad breath, you should go to a dentist, because your bad breath could be caused by something more serious.
Good luck!
