I suck on mints the whole time I am in a small room with many people. If that doesn't work, the best thing to do is keep trying different things. I know it sounds strange, but I would by a new mouthwash, gum or mint or other remedy and each time I had to be social I thought, okay this is a test. These people are my canaries in a coal mine. Lets see what happens. If it failed, which it did many times, then I focused on what i should try next. It helps to make you less emotional, and makes you think in more with your head and not your heart.

Another thing I do is try to see the comedy of it all. Like when my brother would fart in my face and laugh. But this is hard to do with people you know. You care more about them.

i am 41 and have been living with it for all my life.Everyone has their own coping mechanism,mine is that i laugh it off afterwards.
I know i stink and always assume that i stink, if i get no reactions then thats a bonus to me.
Mine is room filling too,I try to open windows and leave a door open if i can , and if there is AC unit then switch that on too.
I take a small brush with me,and brush my tongue during breaks.

A little more connection.
A little less alone.

Keep the conversation going.
