AIBU to ask for help with my bad breath? NC for this obviously! I don’t think it is rotten smelling maybe more like dog breath iyswim....
I feel like a social outcast who everyone thinks is dirty and unpleasant, it is ruining my life. I don’t speak up in meetings at work and act strangely if someone gets close
My boyfriend says I am imagining it but his sense of smell isn’t great. I see people put their hands in front of their nose and lean back when I speak which is so upsetting as I know this is horrible to experience
Is there something more I can do? Can anyone help me? I brush, floss and clean my tongue twice a day, use an electric toothbrush, use CB12 mouthwash, visit the dentist and hygienist twice a year who say I have good teeth and oral hygiene. I drink litres of water every day and eat breakfast although I do drink coffee sometimes and sleep with my mouth open which I know can cause it. I avoid garlic and onions and other smelly food and rebrush etc ahead of meetings in the afternoons. I’ve tried many expensive mouth sprays, washes, gums, pastes, lozenges, you name it but nothing seems to help. I do the arm licking test (when I am alone LOL!)
Does anyone have any suggestions? This is really upsetting me - Thank you
