Raising a stink: bad breath

Raising a stink: bad breath

It’s almost the ultimate taboo after body odour—bad breath! Who hasn’t tried smelling their own breath, puffing it into cupped hands in the vane hope of assessing if it’s ok?

Or is that just me?

How's your breath?

If you’ve ever been in the presence of someone with extremely bad breath, it is something that will be etched in your memory bank forever more.

But worse still is if someone discreetly mentions to you that your own breath smells like a disease infested rat has been slowly decomposing in your mouth!

Fresh or foul?

You’re talking to someone (perhaps a customer) and you can smell their rancid breath from a metre away – not pleasant. And also rather awkward. Short of trying to discreetly cover your nose while talking to them, it’s hard to disguise how off-putting halitosis (bad breath) can be.
