How to Smell Your Own Breath

Have you smelt your breath lately?How is it going?Smells good?Are you experiencing bad breath? Do you even know?Probably not would be my best assumption.
It is easy for us to know if the person next to us has bad breath.However it is not that easy for us to determine if we ourselves are experiencing bad breath.Why?It has something to do with the fact that the oral cavity is connected to the nose.It is a fact that noses tend to filter and ignore background odors.That means it ignores our own breath.So it is more than possible for a person to have bad breath and really have no idea!Here are some ideas to help determine you are suffering from a case of bad breath.

1. Step1

   It is always an option to gain the opinion of another person.Go ahead and ask another person to smell your breathe and then give you feedback.Worried that maybe you won't get the truth.Then try asking a child.Children are always known for being pretty honest in these matters.
