How to stop Bad Breath ?
Do you avoid meeting some people because of they have Bad Breath? Have you ever been embarrassed to talk to people because of the foul smell in your mouth? I have done that. The medical term used to describe breath odor is Halitosis and the scientific term is oral malodor. Halitosis is an unpleasant condition that causes embarrassment to many. I have a client who is a top ranking Official in a Government department holding an influential position and liaises with top level persons on a daily basis. His breathe odor is so unbearable that I try to avoid meeting him unless it’s really urgent. I also have so far not gathered the guts to tell him that he needs to do something to stop bad breath either because he may take offence. Their had been times when I did not want to talk to anyone as I know that my breath does not smell fresh because of the cough I have been suffering from. Imagine lawyers, sales persons, teachers or people who need to communicate with a lot of persons on a daily basis suffering from bad breathe problems!
