Professional male image consultant, Aaron Marino, talks about the causes of bad breath, how to tell if you have bad breath, and how to fix bad breath. Bad breath could be the reason you are sitting at home on Friday night and is an easy fix.
CAUSES Halitosis is bad breath. We all have had it. What causes it? It happens because of poor oral hygiene (chronic), foods we eat (temporary), and a dry mouth.
CHECK How do you know your breath stinks? There are a few tests: cup hands in front of your mouth, clean cup option, wrist lick, and towel / napkin tongue wipe.
PREVENTION Go to the dentist for a cleaning every 6 months. In between, it’s crucial to brush your teeth / tongue and floss twice a day. The majority of odor causing bacteria is on the back of your tongue. You can use a tongue scrapper or brush after teeth. Also, keep your mouth moisturized by drinking lots of water and chew gum (Xylitol).
If you have done all of this but you still have bad breath, go see your doctor. Fresh breath is important whether kissing or talking to someone. When Alpha thinks of his shop teacher, he remembers awful stinky breath. You don’t want to be *that* guy!
