How to understand if you have halitosis problem

How to understand if you have halitosis problem
If you notice that when you speak people around you try to keep you at a distance or take a step back, you have a first hint.
Put your hands in front of your mouth and nose, and exhale.
Lick the back of your wrist, let it dry for a minute or two and then smell it.
Ask a close friend if your breath is unpleasant.
Ask your dentist.
Use a halimeter (measures the levels of volatile sulfur compounds in the breath)

Certain foods, health conditions and habits are among the causes of halitosis. Most people can find a cure for halitosis with proper dental hygiene. If bad breath persists despite good oral hygiene, you have a chronic halitosis problem and you should visit your dentist or doctor to rule out a more serious condition that may be causing your bad breath.
