Merpanda is correct..
Robert K. took my answer. This is an interesting question.
halitosis hal·i·to·sis (h?l’?-t?’s?s)
noun.
Is the condition of having foul-smelling breath. Also called fetor ex ore.
So I guess the fear of bad breath would be halitophobia, as many have said, delusional halitosis, (which is probably right.) or fetor exphobia, (just a word I made up.)
Good luck with your problem!!
