Here Are Simple Ways To Learn Whether You Have Bad Breath


About 30% of people in the world suffer from halitosis, which is a medical term for bad breath. It usually originates from gums and tongue, and in some cases, it is caused by stomach diseases. Those should be treated by doctors, but sometimes there is simply a bad odor due to the decay of food particles or wastes from bacteria in the mouth.

Here are a few ways to find out what your breath smells like, so that you can be confident about it.

The first way is to lick the inside of your wrist with the middle part of your tongue. Wait for about 15 seconds and smell it. If you do not like the smell, it is best to clean your teeth or use a mouthwash.

Another way is to run your finger across the middle part of your tongue. Wait for it to dry and smell it.

These methods are not effective if you apply them right after washing your mouth, but you can use them during the day. Do not forget to do it with clean hands.

Breathe into an empty glass, cup, or other containers without its own smell. Make a deep breath and then exhale into the container. Quickly breathe it in through your nose and consider whether anything should be done to freshen up your breath.

By the way, it is more effective to use a container than breathing into your fist, because in that case, you will get the smell of your hand mixing in as well.

Use a tongue scraper or a spoon to scrape some plaque off your tongue and check its color. The darker it is, the higher is the possibility of having bad breath.

You can also clean your teeth with the help of dental floss and smell it afterward. If you do not like the smell of it, use the toothbrush, because that is how breath smells.

And finally, the easiest way is to check the taste in your mouth. If you do not like it, then the smell will be no better. Luckily, this can be quickly fixed with a chewing gum
