How Bad Breath Affects Your Self-Esteem

Written by Ted Kushner


As a long time sufferer of bad breath (halitosis) I can still rememberrepparttar day my girlfriend told me I had puppy breath. As affectionate as that sounds I knew what she really meant was that I had bad breath. Being somewhat shy inrepparttar 110589 first place, this only compounded my lack of confidence and made me totally aware of my breath problem from that day on.

Rarely was there a date from then on that I didn't have a supply of mints, gum, or some other type of breath altering products available to me. My bad breath was consuming me during my dates with my girlfriend or being in close contact with anyone else for that matter.

If you are one ofrepparttar 110590 millions of sufferers of chronic bad breath then I'm sure you can relate to me. And I'm not alone. According torepparttar 110591 ADA, it is estimated that there are over 27 million people inrepparttar 110592 United States alone that suffer from chronic halitosis. That doesn't include anyone who only suffers from it occasionally.

Bad breath has become an epidemic that affects both young and old, but could be especially devastating to teens and pre-teens as they cope with a whole array of pre-adolescent problems.
