There is probably nothing worse than bad breath.  Sometimes you are aware that you have a problem, due to a sore tooth or the fact that you just ate a sandwich stuffed with onions.  And, other times you may not be aware that you have bad breath.   Unfortunately, most people are not just going to walk up to you and say, “I’m not sure you are aware of this, but you have really bad breath.”  Your best friend or a family member might do this, but certainly not a co-worker or someone who’s taking your food order at a restaurant.

How to Tell If Your Breath Stinks

A good way to find out if you have bad breath is to lick the back of your hand.  Blow on the spot you just licked until it dries, then smell it.  That’s what your breath smells like.  If it’s bad, you may want to follow these simple home remedies to cure that bad breath.
