How to tell if you have a problem with bad breath

Bad breath is almost impossible to self detect and is not something people would normally tell you, but there are a couple of self checks you can try.

• Lick your tongue along your wrist and leave to dry for 30 seconds, then smell it.
• Using unwaxed floss, pass the floss through the upper and lower back teeth. Wait 30 seconds and smell the floss.

If there is a smell from either of these tests, it may be worth getting checked out by a dental professional or visiting our Fresh Breath Clinic.
