Mouth odors

Options
Have any of you experienced bad breath from your spouse or girlfriend during dieting or just general bad dental hygiene ? I was unfortunate enough to encounter that dilemma from someone i was dating and the odor was horrendous . I doubt mints flossing or brushing will help

    low carb dieting or short term starving can give acetone in the breath - tends to smell a bit fruity rather than like rotting food.

    Food between teeth that starts to rot is the biggest contender

    Well you def should weight the rotten food and subtract that amount from your calorie goals!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Yeah sure - easy one - how long has it been rotting for?
    Depending on the aging factor macros will change!

    This might sound cruel but if i detect a slight mouth odor from a female i date there is no future dates. I feel worse for females because male mouth odors are more prevalent than fenale

    I had a friend in the navy who carried around a pack of gum to offer to people with dragon breath whenever she had to talk to them. Of course, if the person didn't take the gum, she'd just have to suffer.

    OMG I had a guy try to kiss me once and as he got close, it was rancid. Not only did he not get the kiss, or another date, he got told to go see a dentist and get his teeth cleaned!
    GROSS

    They could also have tonsil stones...yuck. Lots of people have them but no one talks about it because it's gross.

    You can do it yourself though. I mean it sucks. A lot of times it happens because you've had major bouts of tonsillitis and your poor tonsils are torn to shreds. I obviously know nothing about this....
