One of the biggest drawback anyone can have because of which anyone may start avoiding you is-Bad Breath. People who have
bad breath are not the only one who suffers,others who have to interact with them ,are more so.If he/she is a colleague or a subordinate or just an acquaintaince,people may generally try and avoid their presence near themselves,but what if they are your superiors even your own boss? It becomes a pain ,because of which, one becomes a silent sufferer.It may be embarassing for anyone who has this problem.Those who try to fight it, would rather do it rather discreetly with a mint or an oral spray,but the best bet is a visit to the dentist.The dentist can help with a cleaning job but many a times, there are other underlying problems too.
A new concept which has emerged is that anaerobic
bacteria, which can survive without oxygen, can also grow in the
posterior part of the mouth. It is now supposed to be a major cause of bad breath, which can persist even after a cleanup.These bacteria, split the protein in the food, saliva and phlegm, producing foul smelling gases containing hydrogen sulphide, methyl mercapten and cadaverine.Most of us has suffered from bad breath some time or the other in our life.
Other reasons for a bad breath, can vary.It can be from disorders of lower respiratory system and digestive system,or because of smoking and alcohol,or due to less intake of water which results in reduction of saliva production,or even excess vitamin B present in our body, or diabetes and nasal allergy can be a contributing factor
One should often, if not once in a while,have a do- it- yourself examination, by cupping your hands over your mouth and saying, aha before berathing in.A more reliable method is to lick your wrist with the posterior part of your tongue,and after five seconds, bring it to your nose.
One should do the needful and save embarassement to oneself and others.
