Bad breath can have a big effect on social life

It really an unnoticed serious issue. Bad breaths often strains relationships. There are many people who have been kept away by me due to this issue only. I too had suffered from this, but I use mouth freshners & mint tablets..

I am a smoker so I know it is there but sometimes people cant help it for they might have real bad teeth that can be very bad breath others can help it either for they arent sure what causes it and I fell sorry for them I do tic tac to help wioth the smokers breath / But then I am not looking to meet any one specail Also if the eat Garlic and oninons can cuase it and I am there to I just take a breath mint and hope it helps lol

Not only have I talked to people with bad breath but also with bad body odor. It is just nasty to smell their bad breath and body odor. Bad breath would turn me away from a person, unless it was at a dinner function where sometimes certain foods can make someones breath bad. I always use mouthwash in the morning and evening for my breath.

Dental hygiene is a big thing.In the old days and in the underdevelopped countries , they didn't really pay attention to it. Bad breath could be because of bacteria in the gums,teeth or on the tongue. Simple brushhing after you eat , flossing , rinsing with mouth wash would take care of topical bacterias. If the problem is still there ,they should seek a dentist because it could be a decay or root canal ,that is causing the bad breath. But I definetly agree that it does not only affect your social life but it can affect your health and your confidence

I almost experienced talking to someone who have BAD BREATH.........awful. I am not condemning these people who have bad breath.......but i really do pitty them. Look can you ever imagine when they talk to someone else....everyone where covering their nose or you can even see their facial expressions. These illness could still be cured........they could come and consult their doctors about that... they can also experiments to themselves the food they are taking in...or they might nedd more water just in case for clean up intestine.............water theraphy....such as coconut water they can take that every morning when they woke up. It also so insulting when you are talking and somebody reactions is that covering their nose or the actuation of leaving you or shall we say facial expressions. The early the better to find ways on how it could be cured.......Do you think FOODS have the connection of having BAD BREATH?

Yes i agree with ur words to some extent.In olden days this types of things are being happened and no one reacted abt this situation becoz they feel afraid, if they say how the other people would react.So,simply they keep quite.Now a days people in this world are well educated,they know how to dress or how to look attractive in front of others.So, i think this type of things are almost not seen in around us.There is one tip to overcome this situation. Best thing is to drink water as much as u can before the previous,then u can get rid of this bad breath situation easily.What do u say zandi.

i knew a lot... in my working place before there were lot of people with that problem. i really cant used to it. i cant stand talking with them a lot most especially if their face are near to mine. i was also confuse if how they get that so that i can rid of it... T_T

I'm very self consience about my own breath because I have encountered people with really, really bad breath. One guy always insisted in talking right up to your face and his breath was so offensive that I would hold my breath while he spoke to me. I have a question....how does one address such a thing? Should we say something when someone's breath is that bad? Like, "here, want a piece a gum?"

you know i had learn something about this..some people who had bad breath are not aware that they have this..maybe because they got immune with their own breath..i had a co-worker before whom when he speaks i go away because he push his face so near to me that i can smell his breath so bad..i don't wanna be mean by doing that but he always do that to almost anyone and everyone seems to get away..i don't know if he even get the point but i just cannot take it so i told him whats the problem..he maybe offended but its for his expense so that people wont treat him that way..i don't know if he wont brush or he just got a problem of having gastritis..when people have ulcer no matter how much they brush they will have the same smell..
