Could You Have Bad Breath and Not Know It?


The only thing worse than having bad breath is not knowing you have it.


Nobody wants to think that he or she has bad breath, medically known as halitosis. But more than half of us suffer from it. "Most people do have bad breath and just do not know it,".


Walking around with bad breath is obviously something that most people would prefer to avoid. But before you can cure bad breath, you need to be able to tell if you have it.

Know the Signs of Bad Breath

Actually, there is quite a lot that can be done about bad breath, and most of the tips to halt halitosis are quite simple. It all starts with looking out for the subtle (and not-so-subtle) signs of bad breath:

You sleep with your mouth open. 
sleeping with your mouth open is a sure way to dry out your mouth. And a dry mouth will cause halitosis. Often, people who sleep with their mouth open are having trouble breathing through their nose, so addressing any allergy or nasal
issues before bed might be a good place to start.


You smoke or chew tobacco.
 Both of these bad habits also are guaranteed to give you bad breath. "They decrease the amount of saliva in your mouth,". Saliva contains oxygen, which keeps your mouth healthy and fresh." Here, the answer is obvious: Simply Quit!


You have a white-coated tongue. 
This is a predictable sign of bad breath. "That white coating is comprised of sulfur compounds that have risen to the tongue's surface and cause bad breath,".



You eat secret bad breath inducing foods.
 "In the end it's true: You breathe what you eat,". High-protein foods, coffee, onions and garlic, sugar, acidic foods and drinks, and dairy products all result in worse breath because they create an environment for the bad bacteria to grow. It needs to be balanced with fruits, veggies, and alkalinizing good foods."


You take certain prescriptions.
A number of medications can cause dry mouth as a side effect, which in turn can lead to bad breath. In these situations, you can ask your doctor if any alternatives exist to your current medications, prescription or over-the-counter, that might help with the problem.



How to Tell If You Have Bad Breath

Now that you know the signs, there's a simple trick to test your breath for yourself.

"Take a minute and try this easy Bad Breath Self Awareness Test.

Test 1) "Wipe the surface of your mouth with a piece of cotton gauze or unscented tissue and smell that. If you notice a yellowish stain on the cotton, that's a likely sign that you have an elevated sulfide production level.

Test 2)Now, lick the back of your hand. Let it dry for about 10 seconds, then smell. If you notice an odor, you have a breath disorder because the sulfur salts from your tongue have been transferred to your hand."

Test 3)Another approach is to get an unbiased opinion. "Ask someone you trust who will give you an honest answer,". "You can always ask a dental professional as well. Many times people are embarrassed to ask, and others are afraid to tell them. Your mouth is a very personal space — talking about it is not always easy."
