    Ok, this is a little embarrassing... :imbar

    Every time (almost) I came back from clinicals, my bf says my breath has this distinctive "corn smell". Now, I have to say that I take good care of myself and maintain good oral hygiene. And this hasn't been a problem to me at all until I started clinicals...

    I've tried researching online but found nothing related. Does anyone knows what might be it? Should I be concerned about visiting Dr?

    Best regards to all here.

    You said it's just when you come back from clinicals....so, it's probably just the smell of the hospital, patients, creams, meds, etc. on you. Let's face it, hospitals definately have a "smell" to them.

    Who knows why he thinks it smells like corn. Just get a shower as soon as you get home.

    >What's the matter? Doesn't he like corn?< :rotfl We had a similar discussion here a year or so ago-I remember something about rubbing your finger against the back of your ear in the crease---everyone has their own unique smell....fritos,grape jelly,cheese. ....Does your boyfriend smell like a bed of roses himself? Or-is he feeling a little insecure,a little threatened by your career move? Boys can be so silly.....
