Are You the Smelly Person? The Science of Bad Breath
CHICAGO (Reuters) - On the list of social offenses, bad breath ranks right up there with flatulence and body odor.
And while store shelves are well stocked with remedies ranging from chewing gum and mouthwash to breath strips and drops, researchers are just starting to understand the science of bad breath.
“It’s taboo,” said Patricia Lenton, a clinical researcher at the University of Minnesota’s School of Dentistry. “You are typecast as the smelly person.”
I honestly believe this. You owe it to yourself to take care of your health and it is your responsibility to not inconvenience others for your actions (or lack thereof).
Bad breath is indeed a social and dental problem that a lot of people are facing. It is about time that we get educated about dental care and learn how to properly take care of ourselves.
