Bad breath diagnosis

Many people are not self-conscious about their stinky breath. No wonder! its tough to measure it accurately if you dont have instruments like Halimeter.But here are the ways to self assess your breath any time and any where

Method 1: Lick a fresh and dry back part of your wrist and let it dry for few seconds and then smell it. If it smells your breath also smells. When you lick, try to make the back portion of the tongue come in contact with the wrist. All bad bacteria stay on the very back of your tongue.

Method 2: Take a spoon and try to scratch it in the back of your tongue. Wait until it dries and smell it. If it stinks your breath smells the same.

Method 3: Take a dry non smelling foam cup or plastic cup and blow air in to it. Try to smell it simultaneously. You can feel what others feel when you speak.

Method 4: Take a floss pick (without mint) and floss between the molars (inner teeth) and smell it after few seconds. You can get the feel of your scent.

Method 5: Ask your close friend/ spouse/ parent/sibling about your breath. This is the best way as many times our own judgement is biased.
