Is bad breath just an older person problem?  And, by older, I mean like 30 and up.  I never noticed people having bad breath in high school or college(halitosis, not like you ate some onions, or smoked a cig), but now as an adult, I am more aware of it.  I am by no means an OCD person when it comes to this, but I do carry floss with me, brush at least twice a day, and visit the dentist every four months for a cleaning.  But really, why would your breath get worse as you get older?  Does the decay set in, thus taking time to build up a smell, and it just gets noticeable as you age?  Is it an alcohol thing, so the more you drink, the worse it gets?  I can't stand it, and last night after my ball game, we all went out, and these two guys on my team had terrible breath, like to the point I coudn't be around them.  There is a cashier at the Harris Teeter, and her breath is so bad, I skip her line, even if she's open and less people are in it.  I mean, shit, your mouth is how you communicate, why would you want it to have a foul odor?  It is seriously the biggest turn off to me if a woman has trench mouth.  I couldn't be with a good looking chick who had bad breath.  And I've dated smokers, but not for long, and that's not a s bad as halitosis.  I actually turned a good looking chick down before because of breath.  Makes me very glad my girl takes care of herself.  Thoughts?
