Tips for dealing with bad breath

I don’t think replacing old silver fillings, as Makeotoko-san suggested, is something everyone needs to do. The most common cause of strong bad breath is periodontal disease. First, go to a dentist and work on your treatment and brushing until all your periodontal pockets are 3 mm or less. There’s also data showing that 40% of people in their 40s have 4 mm periodontal pockets. After that, it should be enough to manage things with mints like Frisk.

Please go for a dental cleaning once a month. At the very least, make sure you brush your teeth every morning and night without fail. Starting suddenly the night before won’t do any good, so start brushing every day from today. And be sure to brush your tongue too. If your tongue is discolored—even if it’s white—it can cause a bad odor. Brush your gums gently. Please shower in the morning as well, every day…

Makeoshi-san’s answer is perfect! I’m going to do my best too! Individually packaged breath rinse is available on Amaz〇n. (^-^) If you have it held at the post office or sent to a convenience store for pickup, I think you can receive it without your wife finding out!

> I’m also preparing ways to keep my wife from suddenly becoming suspicious, along with a cover story. It’s not worth doing papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan) if you have to go that far. Eventually, your wife will graduate from it, so it won’t be too late to start after that.

I think going to the dentist first would be a good idea.

As Makeotoko-san wrote, start by visiting the dentist regularly and getting all your dental issues treated. Then, see a dentist who specializes in bad breath. After that, use the toothpaste and tongue cleaner recommended by the bad-breath clinic, along with gum designed specifically for bad breath. I’m sure it will change your world. You’ll probably feel more confident, too. Especially if you’ve been worrying all this time about making people like you. Also, check whether your household uses heavy-duty deodorizers or fabric fresheners when doing the laundry. If not, bring some home by saying you got them from a vendor, business partner, or a raffle. Try to make them a regular household staple.

I’m answering as someone who considers herself exceptionally sensitive to her own smell in the papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan) world. First, you need to get any cavities treated, have your tartar removed, and replace any old silver fillings. Replacing silver fillings with new silver fillings is fine for now. Make sure to properly treat any gum disease as well. That’s the absolute bare minimum. Ideally, you should see a dentist that offers bad-breath treatment. ■ The day of the date Right before leaving home or work, do this five-step routine: brush your teeth, use an interdental brush, floss, brush your tongue, and use mouthwash. The interdental brush and floss are especially important. Food stuck between your teeth smells unbelievably bad. When I use an interdental brush, I always apply toothpaste to it. I try to leave the toothpaste between my teeth. Do the whole routine again in a restroom near the date location. After the meal, once you move to the hotel, do the routine one more time. In other words, carry this whole set with you. Use an interdental brush and floss after every meal in your daily life. Doing it only before bed is completely out of the question. Bad breath and body odor are basic manners. Make sure you’re more than thoroughly prepared. I forgot to mention something important. After finishing the five-step routine at the hotel, take a generous amount of Frisk, rub it all over the back of your tongue, then chew it up—especially with your back teeth—and work the pieces between your teeth. This is surprisingly effective. ■ Body odor There’s so much to say that I could go on forever... If your body odor is completely under control, you may even be able to go straight from the meeting place to the hotel on a first date without having dinner. On a first date with a C-type Premium Black woman and a B-type Black woman, I met them at the station ticket gate, got the go-ahead on the spot, and went to the hotel five minutes later. Later, she told me, “You smelled so good that I found myself saying yes.” Perfume is essential. However, be careful: if you don’t find one that suits you, it can actually make people uncomfortable. At the very least, a protruding belly is a no-go. Burning fat produces a terrible smell, so if you’re overweight, you’ll basically smell no matter what you do. Body hair can also be a source of odor, so at minimum, get your underarms and intimate areas treated with hair removal.

I think you should see a dentist.
