Princess Leia asked:
One of my teachers has bad breath. They are always really close up in my face when they are trying to explain something to me. After they go away I can still smell their breath, like it’s stuck in my nose or something. Can I get the same breath from them breathing in my face?
…I know i’m not perfect, i’m not trying to say my breath never stinks. I just don’t want to catch that breath.
Bad breath is NOT contagious. So don’t worry about catching it. Put some “Breath Savers” on his/her desk when she’s not looking. 🙂
I don’t think so, I think it has more to do with bacteria. I know what you mean about the smell staying with you though. If you’re worried about your breath, good friend will tell you the truth 🙂
No you can’t catch bad breath from someone, it isn’t contagious. Bad breath comes from the anaerobic bacteria in your mouth. This bacteria produces sulfur which makes your breath smell bad. To fight bad breath you should use a product that oxidizes your mouth, and makes sure that there is always healthy saliva and oxygen.
What I’ve been using is Therabreath toothpaste, it oxidizes my mouth and keeps my breath fresh all day. I suggest you try it if you want to avoid and eliminate bad breath.
