Here are two simple methods to know if you have bad breathe. The importance of knowing how to check your breath for any foul smell cannot be overemphasized because it can save you from embarrassment as well as help maintain your oral hygiene. Reason being that, when you are aware of the bad breath, you will take steps to resolve it.

The first step is to lick the back of your wrist and wait for sometime. When the fluid or saliva dries up, you smell the wrist to know if it smells badly. If it smells badly, then your breath is bad.

The second step is to use a wool to clean the surface of your lips and then sniff the wool after the saliva dries. Any smell that comes from that is exactly how your breath smells. If it’s bad, then your breath is most likely bad. These are the main easy ways of ascertaining if your breath is bad before asking anyone. Should your breath be bad after checking it yourself, endeavour to brush or floss afterwards to get rid of the bad smell because bad breath has its own way of tarnishing a person’s image.
