Having a bad breath is no good. It is very offensive and it really affects how the people look at you. Most the people who has it is not aware of their bad breath. It is good to know how to check if we have bad breath. Don’t bother breathing into your cupped hand and inhaling- you can’t always tell this way! Here are some ways to tell:
1.Wipe the top of your tongue with some cotton gauze and smell the gauze. If the gauze gets a yellowish stain it is likely that you have elevated sulfide production.
2.Lick the back of your hand and leave to dry for 10 seconds. If, when you smell it, you notice an odour, this is because sulfur salts from your tongue are now on your hand.
3.Floss between your back teeth, where food gets caught, and then smell the floss.
4.Look at the back of your tongue in a mirror. If your tongue is whitish it can be a sign of bad breath.
5.If some foods change your taste, it is a good indicator that sulfur compounds are being produced.
