Even your closest friends might get turned off, if your breath stinks.

Here are some tips for you to check, if your breath smells bad:

• The easiest, but not the most reliable way to check, if your breath stinks is, if you breathe on the back of your hands. You should be able to smell the odor as it comes out of your mouth.

• A more effective way to find out if you have bad breath is to lick your wrist or the back of your hand. Wait a couple of seconds and take a whiff. If you can’t smell anything, you’re fine.

• You can also use a spoon or a tongue scraper to check if your breath smells. Scrape your tongue in the front and back. Do each area one at a time. Smell the area in question on the spoon or the tongue scraper and see if it smells. If it smells bad, then you may have chronic bad breathe also called Halitosis.

• Check to see if you have any black spots on your teeth. If you do, it could be a sign that you may have bad breath. You may end up having tooth and gum problems that could also lead to bad breath due to bacteria that has formed on your tongue.

If you believe, that you have tooth or gum problems, you might want to consider seeing a dentist.

If your breath stinks and you think you have Halitosis it’s a continuous problem and you should find ways to get rid of it
