You May Not Know
Many who suffer from bad breath or halitosis may not know just how bad their breath smells. You might think that they can smell it for themselves, but this is actually untrue for more than one reason.
As for those who just ate something pungent, your sense of smell and taste and tightly intertwined so you might actually be mistaking smell for taste, and vice versa.
However, for someone with halitosis, they might not know the difference. Your nose can become desensitized to the smell and if there has always been some sort of smell, then you might be spending an extended period of time not realizing you have bad breath.
