how do i know myself if my breath is smelling bad?

Answer 1

the only way to find out is to have someone you are comfortable with to tell you...

brush, floss and rinse at least twice a day and you'll be safe. Have always some gum or something like that in your pocket if you are concerned...

Answer 2

I think the only way is to ask someone else. It pisses me off when I watch those people in the movies put their hand to their mouth, breath, then smell and react as if they can smell their breath that way. I've tried it and I can't -.-

Answer 3

If you hold your hand close to your mouth and breath into it and then smell you can usually tell. Or you can ask a friend to tell you honestly. My grand daughter tells me if mine smells. Sometimes I can have a bad taste in my mouth and I know that it smells then. If you have a sore throat it makes your breath really smell too!

Answer 4

Breathe on a cold window or a mirror and sniff it immediately. It won't give you the full effect but iis a useful guideline for garlic, curry etc.

Answer 5

ok, this sounds gross but it works. Lick the back of your hand, wait a few seconds for it to dry, then smell it. Works WAY better than just blowing into your hands.

Answer 6

put your (clean) finger in your mouth and pull it out
let it dry
smell the salivated finger
If its stinky.. so is your breath

Dont bother with the cupping and smelling your breath trick.. doesn't work and is hardly accurate

Answer 7

try cupping your hand over your mouth and nose and breathe out. Then sniff. If your breath is bad, you will probably smell it. That is what I do, and it works for me.

Answer 8

I read somewhere that you floss your teeth and then smell the floss, if it stinks, then so does your breath

Answer 9

Breath into your hand and then smell it but to avoid oder take a mint every 3 hrs

Answer 10

"Cup" your hand over your mouth, breathe out and smell it. Or ask someone!
