The difficulty with bad breath is that it is almost impossible to self-detect so it's easy to be oblivious to the problem. And, as it's such a taboo subject, it's not something people will tell you about either. So, how CAN you tell if you are a sufferer?

You can ask a partner, close friend or member of your family for their opinion. After all, wouldn't it be better to know that you have a problem rather than being unaware of the negative effect that you may be having on people around you? Alternatively, you can try the 'lick-wrist test'. While it is not conclusive, it is an indication as to whether your breath may be letting you down. Try it for yourself.
