No one likes to hear it, but it’s worse not to know you have mouth odour, halitosis.
Halitosis, is a symptom in which a noticeably unpleasant odor is present on the breath and it can result in anxiety among those affected. It is also associated with depression and symptoms of obsessive compulsive disorder.
Concerns of bad breath may be divided into genuine and non-genuine cases Of those who have genuine bad breath, about 85% of cases come from inside the mouth. The remaining cases are believed to be due to disorders in the nose, sinuses, throat, lungs, esophagus, or stomach. Rarely, bad breath can be due to an underlying medical condition such as liver failure or ketoacidosis. Non-genuine cases occur when someone feels they have bad breath but someone else cannot detect it. This is estimated to make up between 5% and 70% of cases.
Bad breath or mouth odour (also known as halitosis or malodor) can be very embarrassing and tough on those around you. Millions of people suffer from mouth odour without even realizing it because people are afraid to tell them. It is not very often that you have a friend who will be bold enough to tell you that your breathe is exuding an offensive odour. A lot of times they do not want you to feel embarrassed and they will rather endure the odour than tell you or even in a subtle way try to offer you solutions.
