If you’re having a bad breath and looking for a solution, then you need to know the cause of your bad breath. And since most bad breath causes are in the mouth, the best place to start is to see a dentist.

Now, before seeing your dentist, it’s important for you not to drink, eat, brush your teeth, use mouthwash or breath fresheners, for at least two hours, because these things can distort your bad breath assessment. Avoid also using aftershave, scented lipstick or any other perfumed cosmetics.

When you meet your dentist, tell him or her that you’ve avoided those things above and you’re prepared for a bad breath assessment. It’s actually better that when you make an appointment with a dentist, you tell him or her in advance that you want to consult your bad breath problem, so your dentist can tell you anything that you must do before you meet him or her.

Another important thing to do is for you to bring a close friend, relative or acquaintance who is familiar with your problem and can tell your dentist about the problem objectively. This is important because your acquaintance can be more objective then you in describing your problem. Also, since your mouth odour can vary, your acquaintance can help in verifying whether the odour at that time is similar to your typical bad breath or not.
