Yes – but only in the short-term, says Dr Leong Hon Chiew from Dr HC Leong Dental Surgeon (www.leongdental.com.sg). Still, pick your mints carefully, he says, as most are packed with a high sugar content, which actually encourages oral bacteria growth that can cause bad breath. The worst time to take mints: after dinner. “Often, people who take after-dinner mints will not drink water for a while, as they won’t want to lose that ‘fresh’ feeling,” says Dr Leong. “This dries out the mouth and throat, further encouraging bacterial growth.” But if you must suck on a breath mint, Dr Leong says to lo ..read more

ST Photo: Ashleigh Sim Back in 2014, no one would sit next to Mohamed Faizal Abdullah (above) on public buses, and at 175kg, he had to board a bus via the back door due to his sheer size. He did not dare to take the MRT because it was just too difficult for him to squeeze his frame – which included his 68 inch waist – into the trains.

He would take the lift to get up to his second-storey flat. Ironically, whi ..read more
