There were many questions we used to ask our guidance or parents when we were young, concerning our personal hygiene, particularly our mouth, on how to prevent it from smelling.
Question We Ask About Mouth Odor
Some of the questions I used to ask my mom were many, and sometimes she got bored, but she answered all of them. Mommy, please, how can I stop my mouth from smelling bad? What is causing the bad breath that my friends are saying I have? Can my mouth odor be cured by you or anyone, please? Is there a medicine I can take to kill my mouth odour?
See, there were some times I hid myself to prevent going to school because my friends always made me feel bad all sake of what they say my mouth smells bad when I talk, so school was a no-no for me at that time.
