Our #1 association = bad breath

[thanatos]

I bet for most of us, the first thing people think of or associate us with is our bad breath. Why do I say that? Because, sadly, that's the first thing I think of when I see someone with chronic halitosis.

I don't like that I think this way about other sufferers, but we are dealing with our sense of smell and we have our sense of smell to avoid things that smell bad. It's not that I'll avoid someone with CH, but my senses always shape my first impressions.

So I have little doubt that my breath is the #1 thought on most people's minds when I come to their minds or cross their paths.

i don´t agree

I do agree. It's really unfortenate. Nobody is ever goin to think that you have a health problem or somethin. It has to do with your oral hygiene. Go ahead and offer me some gum.

I do agree too. That is the first thing I think of when I think of someone with bb. Then I think that is what everyone thinks of me. Especially at work.... With all of the research and cures they have, surely something will come up for us! We probably have the best hygeine out there... because of our problems we are always brushing. flossing, rinsing, going to the dentist. etc!
