Myth vs. FactMyth: You can tell if you have bad breath by breathing into your hand.

Fact: At this moment Im sure that many of you are breathing into yourhand to see if you may be one of those affected individuals. Dont bother.

One problem associated with bad breath is the inability to self diagnose.

A person with a normal sense of smell usually becomes desensitized to

its own stimulants. The majority of individuals with halitosis are often

unaware they even have bad breath unless someone around them

happens to mention it. Many products found in commercial marketssimply try to control oral malodor by masking it with minty and fruity scents. Mint candies, gums and

mouthwashes are not powerful enough on their own to combat foul smelling volatile sulfur compounds, the

molecules primarily responsible for oral malodor. The most effective way to manage oral malodor is by

maintaining proper oral hygiene, regular dental cleanings, and diligent brushing of the tongue.

Keeping it flossy since 2007

Answer to DAT Practice Question:

The views are without perspective. That is, the

points in the viewed surface are viewed along

parallel lines of vision. The projection looking

DOWN on it is shown in the upper lef-hand corner

(TOP VIEW). The projection looking at the object

from the FRONT is shown in the lower left-hand

corner (FRONT VIEW). The projection looking at

the object from the END is shown in the lower right-

hand corner (END VIEW). These views are always in

the same positions and are labeled accordingly. Note that the lines that cannot be seen on the surface cannot be seen on

the surface in some particular view are DASHED in that view.
