Help I have Bad Breath!

Bad Breath (Halitosis)

Halitosis, or "bad breath" is a common, but embarrassing condition that often has a dental cause. A thorough examination can help determine the cause and rule out a more serious condition.

How can I tell if I have bad breath?

Unfortunately, those around us are often aware of our bad breath before we are since it is difficult to smell your own breath. If it is not too uncomfortable, you could ask a close friend or family member for their opinion. To test your own breath, try licking the back of your wrist and scraping the back of your tongue with a spoon. Let the saliva on your wrist and the spoon dry for a few seconds, and then smell them. Smelling the spoon and the back of your wrist will give you a good idea what your breath smells like to everyone else.
