| Bad breath is definitely a big turn off! If they only knew how bad it was, maybe one day we should try to have bad breathe and purposely breathe all over them so they have an idea how it is... And maybe them they would know. |

| While helping him make sure your smells are not too gamey. |

She said he had his tonsils out. I get stones and I can kind of feel them before seeing them. I can only see them when they are big or I go poking at my tonsils. I have to flush them out with a syringe of water and peroxide before they get big enough to see. If I don't keep them flushed out, my breath is nasty. I feel like removing my tonsils nyself sometimes. |

| Maybe suggest he try gargling with warm salt water a couple times a week. I was thinking my breath was starting to stink several months ago and added gargling to my routine. It helped clear it up. Like some PPs, I have a freakishly sensitive sense of smell (and hearing) and couldn’t stand myself. DH didn’t notice it though. Sometimes I think I married DH in part because he rarely ever smells except occasionally his socks. Smell, or lack thereof, is so important to me. I’m crazy extreme to the point of only being able to handle light fragrances and use scent free products. |

As if this would work with tonsil stones. The stench is all-emcompassing. It's like a Ren and Stimpy cartoon, wafting all around you. |

But it sounds to me like her DH needs to go to the doctor and dentist. First, he almost certainly has gingivitis. Second, it is not normal for someone’s breath to be that bad, he needs to get checked out by his PCP. |
