Maybe you’ve noticed that your co-workers tend to back up when you’re speaking to them directly. Or, perhaps you can’t shake the bewildering smell that seems to follow you wherever you go. Newsflash: It might be your breath.
While it’s difficult to smell our own breath and know when there’s an issue, here are a few steps you can take to banish it from your everyday life.
Try the sniff test. Floss a few teeth in the back of your mouth using an unscented brand. Smell the floss immediately after to see if your breath is in need of a mint (sugarless, of course!)
Drink more water. A dry mouth after consuming food that lingers on your breath can be a recipe for disaster. Staying hydrated helps to minimise bad breath odours.
Ask someone you trust. If you’re dealing with frequent bad breath yet you brush and floss as directed each day, let us know at your next visit.
