If you’ve ever been in a crowded lift with someone whose breath could form part of a biological weapons programme, you’ll know that halitosis is bad for social interaction. But how would you know if you have death breath?

Take action: Test 1: Stick your tongue out as far as you can. Then lick your upper arm or the inner surface of your wrist, wait four seconds and smell where you've licked. Test 2: Place a piece of gauzy cloth on your tongue, as far back as you can, for a few moments. Take it out, let it dry and then sniff it. Bad? You might have a problem.
Prevent bad breath by brushing your tongue every time your teeth are brushed – twice daily. Also invest in a tooth-and-tongue brush and visit an oral hygienist every six months.
