A public dental health promotion event was held in 2006 in Fukuoka, Japan. At the oral breath booth, we measured the breath odor of the attendees, and also asked them to complete a questionnaire on whether or not they were conscious of breath odor and their oral and general health. A total of 58 people visited the booth, and 55 of them agreed to have their answer sheets analyzed. A quarter of the attendees had attended the event more than once, and some of the people had visited there five consequent years. A larger percentage of people compared to the general population were performing inter-dental cleaning. In addition, the percentage of current smokers was smaller than the general population. Also, many of them were concerned about their oral malodor even though they did not exhibit strong breath odor. Many of the attendees wish to reduce their breath odor, but only 12.7% of them were aware of breath clinics at university hospitals. From these results, these individuals seemed interested in their oral and general health, but there is a possibility that they do not have the necessary knowledge or information about halitosis. Therefore, further studies are required to clarify this point even more.
