Is Your Breath Hurting You?

A while back ago I was having a conversation with a person who had bad breath. I wondered how many other people also felt he had bad breath, but never told him because they didn’t want to hurt his feelings. Then it hit me, what if I am that guy? The guy with the bad breath that nobody will tell on the count of they don’t want to hurt my feelings.

Since then, I always carry around breath mints with me, and I always pop one in before I am meeting with someone. Here are some interesting facts about bad breath:

• 65% of the population is believed to have bad breath
• The number reason why people don’t purchase from a salesman is because of their breath
• The Romans believed that the cure for bad breath was strawberries
• Dry mouth is a major cause of bad breath
• 90% of bad breath is caused by bacteria on the back of your tongue
• You should rinse your mouth after Coffee, Milk products, meat, and fish
• Not flossing your teeth everyday is the same as not brushing your teeth for 2 weeks

I would recommend brushing your teeth twice a day, flossing, and using a powerful mouth wash. Also, use breath mints and sugarless gum. You might also want to ask someone you trust to be honest if you have bad breath. Start to notice patterns of bad breath associated with food and then work on eliminating those foods or using mouth wash afterwards. I just got done drinking some coffee over at Cutters Point Coffee on Lacey Blvd so I better go brush my teeth now…
