Past Celebrities and Historical Figures with Bad Breath
Monday, January 3rd, 2011
Smoking, consuming alcohol, plaque, gum disease, dry mouth, post nasal drip, and tonsil stones are just a few causes of bad breath. Given the many causes, it’s no wonder that millions of people suffer (and have suffered) from bad breath.
Here are a few high-profile people of the past with bad breath, why they had it, and what they could have done to treat it.
Clark Gable – a famous actor of the 20th century is best known for his role in Gone with the Wind and his strong halitosis. His co-star Vivien Leigh reportedly complained often of Gable’s bad breath while on-set filming the classic Civil War movie. His foul breath came from his dentures. False teeth and dental bridges can be a source of bad breath, especially when they are not cleaned properly. Perhaps Clark should have washed his dentures in one of TheraBreath’s oral rinses for his on (and off) screen kissing scenes.
