page and are reading this article. Maybe your child is the

partner, wife, or husband is the one who has bad breath and

I am the creator of StankBreath.com. I have made everything
on this site. I made this site back in 2001 when I finally
found a solution for my bad breath. I'm not going to get into
advertising that product or anything like that. I'm simply
giving you a little background.
I have been aware that I have had bad breath, chronic halitosis,
since I was a child. At the time of writing this I am a 24
year old man with a long-term girlfriend. I've almost never
been single. This is all related to the story I'm about to
tell you in hopes for you to either know that you're not alone
having chronic halitosis, or so you can better understand
what a person with bad breath has to go through mentally that
has bad breath.
Let's go back to my earliest memory of being aware that I
had bad breath. I can remember being around 8 years old when
I noticed that my father would tell me to go and brush my
teeth all the time. I say all the time, but what I mean is
that almost daily my dad would notice that my breath smelled
bad and he would question if I had brushed my teeth whether
it had been when I woke up or as I was prepaing for bed. I
realized that something was wrong because most of the time
when he told me this I had already brushed my teeth and their
should have been no reason for me having bad breath.
I'm sure other people noticed my halitosis but my father
was the only one who was outspoken enough to tell me.
Next, I can remember being in middleschool and kids were
mean to me. I wasn't a nerd and wasn't picked on alot but
kids are honest and don't worry much about hurting other's
feelings. Some of the more rude kids would tell me that my
breath stinks. I knew a few kids and playmates at that age
who had stinky breath and started to worry that I was aslo
one of those stinky breath kids. This was about the age where
my chronic halitosis started to affect me mentally.
Starting in my early teenage years I became very aware that
my breath always smelled bad. I began speaking with my mouth
barely open all of the time. The fact that I was aware I had
a bad breath problem actually changed the was I would speak.
The mechanics of my speaking changed which would make the
volume of my voice lower and the way I pronuonced words altered.
Both of these changes made it more difficult for people to
understand me.
As I began to gain interest in girls and began to date, I
had even more to be nervous about because I was always wondering
if I was offending my date because m y breath was offensive.
I would be nervous to kiss girls because I knew in my head
that she would notice my breath was smelly.
All of this remained the same through highschool and college.
In my late teens I started to notice that I was coughing up
these little smelly white globs that smelled aweful. To put
it bluntly, the little smelly globs I would cough up smelled
like poo. Is this what my breath always smelled like? Was
I the guy with "shit breath"? Can you imaging the
toll that would take on a person emotionally?
I became addicted to brushing my teeth, using mouthwash,
constantly chewing gum and sucking breath mints. I had excellent
oral hygiene yet my breath always smelled.
I had no idea what those white globs were but I knew that
they were the root of my halitosis. I would cough them up
when I exerted alot of energy, like when I was straining to
lift weights and when I would wake up in the morning I would
cough them up in the shower. My dentist had no answer for
what these were. I needed to find out.
As an adult with chronic halitosis I had problems with intimacy
that an attractive young man should not have. Relationships
suffered because I would be so ashamed and worried about my
bad breath. If I didn't just brush my teeth and use mouthwash
or have some really strong, minty gum handy I would not get
close to my grilfriend. The worst was when she would notice
my breath was smellying bad and would tell me and offer me
gum or a mint. Having bad breath was taking over alot of the
positive aspects of my life and turning them negative. I was
becoming depressed.
One day while I was in my car I was listening to an AM station
that I enjoyed. Instead of the normal sports talk radio that
was usually on at that time there was a special interview
on with a dentist named Dr. Katz. My interest was peaked so
I listened in. Within minutes I heard the doctor mention tonsil
stones and what they were. Literally I was shaking because
this was the first time in my life I had ever heard a name
for what was making my breath smell.
Dr. Katz runs a business called Therabreath. He is the reason
why my life is so much better today. I no longer have bad
breath or the mental stress that comes with having bad breath.
I speak withmy mouth open and I'm not afraid to speak in close
distance to another person's face. I can be intimate with
my girlfriend and not worry if she is turned off by my bad
breath. The feeling is amazing. I feel.....normal.
