The International Journal of Dental Hygiene recently published a new study looking at how bad breath could impact someone’s quality of life. The findings are pretty interesting as apparently people who have halitosis were found to be twice as likely to be unhappy compared to people with beautifully fresh breath. So how did they work this out? The study focused on questioning people about their everyday lives, discovering that those with halitosis had 500% more negative experiences compared to people with fresh breath.

People with halitosis found it impacted them psychologically, lowering self-esteem and self-confidence. Not sure if you have bad breath? The easiest way to find out for sure is to ask a close friend or relative to tell you the truth. Otherwise try licking the inside of your wrist and letting it dry before sniffing. If it smells bad then you almost certainly have a problem with halitosis.
