Bad Breath Halitosis Forum

I’m glad someone brought this subject up. It’s so important to have something to take your mind off your troubles whatever they may be. For me, I like gardening, going to the beach, making jewelry and doing volunteer work.

Things that can potentially cause nasal odours:

-Tonsils and adenoids
-Impacted wisdom teeth
-Esophageal candidiasis
-Parasites

I don’t exactly fit into this survey but anyway here goes... 1. If you are employed, what is your job? Stay-at-home mom with plans of going back to school at a later date once my daughter is older and more independent. 2. What other training do you have? College? Trade?
