The Silent Stench: Why Do Some People Not Notice Their Own Bad Breath?
Medellín, Colombia – A video by a local dentist, Dra. Laura Estrada, has sparked an online discussion about a common yet awkward social phenomenon: why many individuals with chronic bad breath appear to be completely unaware of their condition.In her recent viral video, Dra. Estrada poses what she calls an "existential doubt," asking, "Why don't people with bad breath realize they have it?" She draws a parallel to snoring, where the individual is typically oblivious to the noise they make while sleeping, unlike those around them.The dentist highlights the significant social challenge this presents. "It's very difficult to tell someone they have bad breath without making them feel bad," she explains, lamenting that often, one is left to "suffer in silence" and "hold their breath" during interactions. She clarifies that her question is not about her patients, who would be informed professionally, but about everyday acquaintances.Dra. Estrada offers two main hypotheses for this lack of self-awareness: either these individuals genuinely believe the entire world smells that way and have become accustomed to it, or they have a diminished sense of smell due to some olfactory impairment. She concludes by urging viewers with insights to respond, seeking to resolve her perplexing query. The video has resonated with many, prompting a widespread conversation on this delicate topic.
