Bad breath test

Post by john_bb »

How many of you cannot smell your breath by following ways and still get offensive responses from people

1) blowing in to cupped hands
2) licking test
3) floss test

Just wondering, if after flossing and your floss stinks, does it means you have BB? Cos sometimes mine does stink but at times it doesn't, so I dunno what it means.

If your floss smells, it either means your teeth are positioned in such a way that they harmlessly trap debris and bacteria, or it can be indicative of a dental issue in the area.

One thing I noticed is that I'm a very nervous person and I'm constantly moving my tongue around in my mouth and I've noticed that the teeth where I tend to notice flossing odours are the areas where my tongue surface rubs the most - This might be irrelevant info, but it might not be. Also, tonsil stones might be exactly the same thing - dead cells and bacteria being scraped off the tongue into the tonsil crypts. They smell almost identical.
