Brush your teeth bud. People can probably smell your breath from a mile away.

You'd think. But where does the bad smell come from?

My understanding is it's from overactive bacteria; I don't feed my mouth bacteria with food that makes them smell

At least my partner still kisses me

I do intermittent fasting.

My breath stinks quite a bit on days I don't eat. The bacteria develop very well on those days, since they're not being washed off as often. And that's before "keto breath" even comes into play.

Point is, your mouth bacteria are fine producing all sorts of "charming" smells even without food.

You probably do stink. The two of you are just used to it.

How do you think you can know when your breath is bad and I can't?

You didn't say what you feed your mouth bacteria aside from saying you only do so occasionally.

brushing your teeth doesnt do much for bad breath. You want to clean the rest of your mouth to get rid of that, which is probably what they do.
