If the term halitosis seems somehow exotic to you, or is one of which you are not too sure of the meaning, heres an easier description for you to digest - consistent bad breath. A simple scenario in which you might try to imagine how it can relate to your life goes something along these lines. You are at an extremely important dinner where the room is packed with important people and you are dressed in your best and most expensive suit. However, every time you stand close to someone to engage them in conversation, they seem to cringe whilst other people seem to maintain a distance from you every time you try to make polite chit-chat with them. You keep asking yourself why and put together so many different possible reasons in your head. But the truth is, you still dont know the answer. At the same time, the most logical answer to this scenario is that you have extremely bad breath and people may just be too embarrassed to tell you or afraid that you may be embarrassed if they did tell you. While halitosis is not contagious, it can warrant a great deal of embarrassment and attention of exactly the kind that you do not want! Instead of knocking people dead with your charm, wit and elegance, you are certainly killing them, but in a very different way! Perhaps the biggest problem with halitosis is that there is no one single cause, and that there is therefore equally no one single solution either. Moreover, it is certainly possible to spend thousands of dollars on medical or dental treatments that may or may not work, and that is presumably an expense that most people would not choose to suffer. This book is all about the many different natural ways that you can tackle your stinky breath problem, so that, by the time you finish reading, you should have all of the information you could ever need to rid of that nasty odor once and for all. Halitosis warning signs Help others to help you Unlike the situation highlighted in the introduction, it is not always going to be true that you find out about your bad breath the hard way. Wouldnt it be far better if, rather than being at some grand social function where you will undoubtedly be embarrassed by your problem, you can convince your loved ones and those who surround you on a daily basis to help you by being honest? As you will read over the following few chapters, there are certain situations where each and every one of us will vastly increase the chances of suffering from bad breath because of something that we either do or omit to do. On the other hand, people who suffer from halitosis have a far more persistent problem and it is therefore something with which the people who surround them are likely to become familiar with over time. Consequently, if you are in this position, you should make the people who surround you on a daily basis aware that you are someone who suffers from bad breath, that you know about it and that you are not embarrassed about your problem. Of course, it goes without saying that you are not happy about the problem either indeed, if you were, you would not be reading this book but, if you can remove other peoples embarrassment at raising the subject with you, you are making it considerably easier for them to tell you that you are having a bad breath day. In turn, this should make your life less stressful because you are enabling other people to help you by helping them in a difficult situation where, in all likelihood, they are really not sure what they should do. It is only logical that anyone who suffers from a long-term, chronic bad breath problem is going to be sensitive about it, but you should not allow this sensitivity to get to a point where those who are closest to you are not allowed to point out when your halitosis problem is at its worst.
