Chronic Bad Breath

In the previous articles, we talked about bad breath in general, and the causes of bad breath. In this article we'll talk about the chronic bad breath.

Do You Have Chronic Bad Breath?

Chronic bad breath is a condition where you constantly have bad breath due to the presence of oral bacteria or some underlying medical condition. If you have chronic bad breath, it's probably affecting your interactions with other people at work and in your personal life, whether you're aware about it or not.

Bad breath can definitely get in between people in a negative way, that's why it's important to find out if you have a chronic bad breath or not, so you can feel comfortable with everyone. If you are wondering if you are putting people off by chronic bad breath, consider the following points that may help you decide if bad breath is a problem for you:

• Bad Taste In Your Mouth: If you constantly have a bad taste in your mouth, you probably have chronic bad breath. What you taste is the decay from the food particles left in your mouth. Unless you clean your teeth and tongue regularly, you will be subject to a bad taste in your mouth.
  

• Would You Like A Mint? : Have others offered you a breath mint or breath freshening gum before they will talk to you? Chances are the reason they gave you the mint or gum is that they couldn't stand your breath, unless its odor has been masked. Many people are too polite to bring up a delicate matter like bad breath, so they offer a mint or gum to the person with the offending breath before they talk with them. If this happens regularly to you, you may have chronic bad breath.
  

• Stepping Back: When you stand close to people and talk to them, do others step back when you begin talking? If this happens regularly, people may be stepping back to avoid your bad breath which means you may have chronic bad breath.
  

• White Or Yellow Coated Tongue: A white or yellow coating on the tongue can indicate a condition that causes chronic bad breath. The coating on the tongue should be regularly brushed or scraped off because if it is allowed to build up, it can create a condition of bad breath.
  

When you have concluded that you have a bad breath, you have to take action against it, so that you can find more joy in your interactions with other people when you have gotten rid of your bad breath. People will no longer avoid you or hand you candy before they talk to you, and it will be empowering you to have your bad breath under control.
