Here Are Some Simple Ways To Check For Bad Breath Yourself:

• Lick the back of your hand, let the saliva dry and then smell the saliva.
• Floss your back teeth and smell the floss.
• A whitish, fuzzy tongue may also indicate the presence of bacteria and any VSCs (sulfur compounds). Try using a clean cotton ball to wipe the coating on your tongue and then smell it.
• Scraping the back of the tongue with a clean plastic spoon and smelling the saliva can help you detect odorous breath too.
• Ask your best friend or a family member (They must have abstained from coffee or alcohol for 24+ hours). They may not tell you the truth though.

Two Things To Know:

• Unless your odorous breath is caused by very poor dental and oral hygiene then the cause will be from Gastrointestinal malfunctions. Malfunctions of the GI System almost always involve an imbalance in the microflora and ecology of the system.   You Can Fix That
• Dental and oral disease and/or neglect, and GI System malfunction very often lead to heart problems or disease.
