After reading my recent article, “Men’s Oral Health: Controlling Bad Breath”, a regular reader got in contact to ask a quick question relating to the subject.
I’m afraid it was part of a longer email, so I’ll have to paraphrase as best I can:
“…I’m constantly having problems with stinky breath, so your article on Men’s Oral Health: Controlling Bad Breath was very useful. Do you know of any way I can check my breath throughout the day so I don’t offend anyone in the office…?” ~Jason
Well as a matter of fact, I do!
This is a tip you can try for yourself right now at home and it doesn’t require any external gadgetry either. Simply take your tongue and lick the back of your hand. Wait a few seconds for any moisture to evaporate, then give your hand a quick sniff.
A much better (and more accurate) way to monitor your breath than trying to exhale into your cupped palms hoping to catch a whiff. I hope that helps you out Jason. Remember, if you have any Q&A Quickies you’d like to share, simply get in touch via the contact page.

Another good way is to immitate the old “ice waterfall” trick of your smoking youth days, or maybe you still do it when having a casual smoke? It’s the trick all the rappers like to do on MTV where the smoke leaves your mouth and you breathe it back in through you nose. Works a treat.
