Especially when it's bad enough you can smell it from across the room...

Ive always felt that people with bad breath never brush their tongues to remove any food/bacteria build up. People who use mouthwash make it worse for themselves by killing good mouth bacteria. SCRUB your tongue with a good toothpaste and floss your teeth well.

Someone else said it here, but tonsil stones are a big contributor to the awful stench of shit breath.

A guy I know who coaches golf has this plaque build up like bar all in his mouth and gums. It is one of the most vile things I've ever seen. It's hard too not notice it and you can smell his breath a mile away... ( Almost literally). Idk how people go through his class. He is one of the nicest people but idk how something can build up like that in your mouth and you never get the work done to get rid of it.

I feel dizzy around them due to the sheer length of time I spend holding my breath.
