Mouth Odour Awareness And Prevention
Mouth odour can be suffered by anybody;
doesn't matter whether you are 1 year old or 100
years old. Civil servants, public servants, private
servants, graduates, undergraduates, post-
graduates, NYSC corp members, lecturers,
artisans, traders, pastors or politicians, I have
found this problem in all of them.
The sad truth is that many people suffering from
it don't even know they have it. Thus, the have-
nots are always at the recieving end. If mouth
odour could blind someone, over 90 percent of
Nigerians would be blind by now. Its that serious.
To know if you have mouth odour, you can
simply lick the back of your hand, wait 5 seconds,
then smell it. Thats the quick way. The best way
is to be told by a friend, enemy or relative. Most
people cannot just gather enough courage to
inform others about their mouth odour condition.
Mouth odour, like body odour, is not a spiritual
problem. Don't waste your time going to native
doctors or pastors for solutions. The best person
to meet is a dentist. However, if you can't afford
a dentist, you can try the following tips.
1. Brush at least twice a day. I know some
people will still not take this advice. Whether you
are fasting or not please brush your mouth
always. Make sure you brush your tongue very
well cos thats the main culprit.
2. Floss at least twice a week or regularly to get
rid of those smelly calcified substance jammed or
lodged between your teeth. Also scratch your
throat always to get rid of those same smelly,
yellowish substances that may lodge inside your
throat (very very important).
3. If you can't afford a bottle of lysterine then
buy a bottle of hydrogen peroxide, mix ten
drops in five table-spoonful of water, use it to
gargle (hold in your mouth for 2 minutes) and
wash your tongue thoroughly before using
normal toothpaste. Do this at least twice a week
and you will notice a big difference.
I just hope many Nigerians will read this and save
others from the silent pain they suffering.
Together, lets make our atmospheric air clean
and fresh to breath in. You can save that
marriage, friendship or relationship by informing
others of their condition e.g send them a polite
anonymous message.
