@southseattlesmiles: If your breath keeps going south no matter how many mints you reach for, it's not a grooming problem. The mint is doing its job - covering the smell. It just can't reach the cause, which usually sits below the gumline. That's not a personal failure, and it's nothing to be embarrassed about. It's a signal, and signals are treatable. If yours has been hanging around, that's a conversation worth having - no judgment. South Seattle Smiles, Tukwila
