Smelly mouth

India
March 17, 2013 1:53am CST
A friend’s son 35 years young came to see me this morning; we sat front to front in the drawing room and talked; one thing I marked was his mouth was too smelly; like rotten fish. I am always straightforward in talk; never think what the other person will think; I told him, Son , your mouth smells bad; you need to see a good doctor, there might be problem in digestion; also please brush your teeth daily, AFTER TAKING FOOD; this is important. [b]I also advised him to take what we call ‘Pan-Masala’ made by some reputed company; this is kind mouth freshener, it has cloves, cinnamon, peppermint etc as components. [/b] [b]Have you ever faced a person who has a smelly mouth, do such persons use mouth freshener to hide the smell? Will you tell him/her on face that his/her mouth smells? I think you should; because he/she might not be aware of this. Please respond and share your experience.[/b] Thanks in advance. Professor Dr. B.Saraf. PhD. Cheers have a lucky day ahead. March 17 th 2013. [i][/i]

I do not want to offend people by telling them what could be probably wrong with them. But if that person is someone who is close to me, I do say what I feel. It is hard to tell just anyone what you think that they should know without them getting hurt, angry or insulted. You know how some people are.They could not take criticisms like that.

We can tell on face only if he/she is close.

Halitosis is caused by poor dental health condition and maybe a sign of other health problems. Caries or cavities in our teeth, if left untreated will be a good spot for bacteria to multiply thus causing the foul odor. Similarly, a foul smell can also happen when one has some digestion problems. People who are fond of eating spicy food are prone to this condition.

Smelly mouth is a problem for most of the people who interact all the time with other.Maybe he must check it as soon as possible because mouth is the entrance of all the bacterials that are held in the nature.Be aware of those things!

i have encountered those kind of people sometimes,that when they talk their breath would be a smelly mouth,and of course we don't like them to offend them by telling that their mouth or their breath is smelly so for me its better to give them a candy.

It's depend. But maybe he's not aware of that. If that's so, by telling him nicely that maybe there's a problem in his disgestion will be helpful, for him after all. But I think maybe he'll be embarassed to be told like that in front of his face.

I have a classmates and friends during college who have the same problem.but actually it's not in the mouth but in her stomach which produce bad smell. for I do believe she do brush her teeth often for I haven't seen any tartar or plaque in her teeth nor in her toungue.

hello dada, Uh uh, this is one thing that I really hate. I can't stand foul smell. If the person is close to me- I will surely tell him/her directly because I care. But if I don't know the person well- I doubt I can say it directly. Have a great weekend. Hugs to you and maa

When, I am with my mother, she is not hesitant to tell me that I have a bad breath. Of course, I do appreciate it for me to be aware that I really have a bad one. When, she told that, I am now more cautious and hygienic when it comes to my breath. I think when I can smell some smelly mouth, I cannot tell him or her frankly but maybe in the form of sending her a message.

i always observe a good daily hygiene specially in my mouth.. after meals i will brush my teeth.. because i don't want to have a bad breath.. and i always check my breath specially when i will have to talked to someone.. you are right there having a bad breath may cause of digestion problem and i also read somewhere that bad breath is also cause of smoking,gum disease and dry mouth,,,anyways i really cant tell to the person that i am talking if she or he is having a bad breath i don't know how.. but if i smell it in my husband i will tell it..

Well, thank you for discussion. I have seen those sort of people but as they were not close to me, I did not say anything to them. I thought it should be rude of she or he will be shy with that.

Hi, It depends, when it is the person who I am very close with, I shall ask she/he to brush teeth immediately, or chew gums. If the others, I shall feel akward to tell them about this. This may make them shy or unhappy.

Hi Prof...I also ever meet my friend with smelly mouth. If he or she is my close friend, I will tell him or her that his mouth was smelly, I believe he does not hurt with what I tell him, but if he does not my close friend I just to avoid talk more with him without tell him that his mouth very smelly, I afraid will hurt him. I am very impressed with your action, you honest to him that he has smelly mouth and give some advice for him, I cannot do that except to my close friend...

I have also encountered with such people,they are the people you wanna look around when they speak to you.Some of them actually do the brushing regularly though they still have bad breadth.Personally i wouldn't face a person and tell him/her of it.I consider it rude and shy away from it.
