Bad breath: Anxiety can make your mouth dry, which can increase a breath problem. Brush and floss well. Chewing sugar free gum will increase saliva Nd help you mouth feel better. Mouthwash will help in the short term. If you have not seen a dentist recently you should see one now. Try to relax before your date and enjoy. Good luck.
