MOUTH ODOUR (HALITOSIS)

Hello my stemian friends, it's been a while but thank God I'm here again.

There's this issue a friend complained to me about what she was going through and also when I thought about it I felt not too comfortable. That's why I wish to talk about it.

Question to someone here:
How would you feel if people are trying to avoid conversation with you at all cost just because your mouth stinks? Derogatory right?

How would you also feel if you are having a chat with someone and such is trying to avoid straight contact with your month or better still covering his/her nose with hand or handkie?

It means your mouth is smelling (halitosis).

Bad breath or mouth odour is a situation where a bad odour or unpleasant smell reflects on the breath. Whoever is affected usually get anxious which is usually accompanied with depression and low self esteem. Of a truth, bad breath comes in two forms, the first type occurs due to decaying food particles left in the mouth while the second type occurs due to ailments in the nose, sinuses, throat, lungs, oesophagus, stomach, it can also occur due to an underlying medical condition such as liver failure and blood disorder.

Bad breath treatment varies but when you realise that your breath isn't as fresh as it used to be, kindly start some routine as quik as possible. Do a thorough brush twice a day and make last for two minutes using a fluoride toothpaste. Drink plenty of water and avoid chewing gum but sugarless gum with mint is still acceptable.

If eventually the bad breath persists, consult your dentist for proper investigation on what the cause may be.

BAD BREATH SHOULD NOT DETERMINE YOUR LIFE, SO DON'T BE DEPRESSED.
