Many people choose "bitter swallow" instead of speaking honestly when dealing with a partner who has bad breath problems. No matter how hard you endure, bad breath is very likely to affect your intimacy with your partner. However, don't worry. You can tell your partner that their bad breath is bothersome with a thoughtful approach.
Bad breath partner? Try this way!
Here are some wise ways you can deal with a partner who has bad breath.
1. Be honest
Bad breath is a sensitive issue. It seemed that almost everyone was unprepared for the fact that their breath was bad.
However, you still have to be honest in front of your partner. Don't let these things keep to yourself. Especially if this problem makes you reluctant to kiss, hug, or have sex with your partner.
Instead of him having to hear from his boss or friends, it's better if he hears it directly from your mouth, right?
2. Look for the trigger factors
You do have to be honest, but make sure you do it right.
Before telling your partner, you should know what causes bad breath. The reason is, bad breath can be triggered by many factors. In addition to bad oral hygiene, bad breath can also be caused because your partner rarely drinks water.
Why? Low fluid intake can cause dry mouth. If the mouth is dry, it is easier for bacteria and germs to breed in the mouth. Well, it is these bacteria and germs that cause the bad smell.
The food your partner eats can also be the cause of bad breath. Check again, is your partner a big fan of jengkol, petai, durian, or garlic? If so, the bad odor that comes out of his mouth could be from various types of these foods.
On the other hand, certain medical problems can also cause bad breath. Bad breath as a symptom of a medical condition is usually very unpleasant and tends not to go away.
3. Speak carefully
Have you equipped yourself with some information on the causes of bad breath? Now when you are ready to speak directly in front of your partner.
Even though your partner is a humorous person, you still have to be careful when you talk to him about this sensitive matter. Think carefully about every word that will come out of your mouth.
Make sure you don't discuss the matter in front of other people. Invite your partner to talk together in your spare time. Don't immediately criticize, attack, or corner your partner. Start the conversation with a gentle intonation and positive words.
For example, something like, “Uh, I have a good mouthwash recommendation, you know! Give it a try, guaranteed your breath will be fresher when you use this mouthwash."
4. Take your partner to the dentist
Maybe your partner already knows that he has bad breath that is bothersome. However, because he was embarrassed, he was reluctant to go to the dentist.
In fact, seeing the dentist is a wise step to treat bad breath. So, don't hesitate to invite your partner to the dentist to have their oral health checked..
The dentist will perform a series of examinations to find out the cause of the bad breath the partner has. The doctor will also tell you how to care for and clean your teeth properly.
