    Bad breath smelled through nose
    Can a person breath out bad breath through their own nose? Me and my girlfriend have a debate on this issue. She says if she has her mouth closed, the oder won't come through the nose. I say being that they are connected you can. Who is right?>

    You guys have the most interesting conversations!
    Your nose is connected to your throat so that it can drain all its yummy juices down into it! So, since many bacteria that cause bad breath live in the throat, the air breathed out through the nose may carry some foul smell. But, to notice the smell coming out through the nose, you must either be close enough to kiss (like your girlfriend!) or the person must have a terrible infection (in which case you will smell it before you got close enough to kiss anyway).

    Yes, you can definitely smell it way across the room. I also have this. I thought it was bad teeth until after I had several thousand of dollar treatment and it still is bad sometimes worse than others. Brushed tongue everyday, floss use very expensive mouth wash. What can I say? I guess nothing!!

    Most people, when they first awaken, have the toughest breathing in the morning. Everything may seem cool for a few hours after you sweep, but soon as the day goes on, the bad breathing may gradually return into the oral cavity area and make the people you deal with wince.

    Bad breathing, clinically called foul breath, can result from poor dental cleanliness routines and may be a sign of other illnesses. The causes of bad breathing may be the waste materials of anaerobic dental parasites , that live on a individuals mouth at and below a individuals gum line. It also can also be brought on by xerostomia area (xerostomia), which happens when the flow of spit reduces.
