Topic: How do you tell someone they have BAD Breath? | |
---|---|
Spay,
I think I will tell her about her breath because it's getting worse... Maybe she can go to her doctor for a colon cleanser or something I will have to be careful about how I say it....... |

"Roses are red,
Violets are blue, And that breath of yours? P.U.!" "Hallmark. When you care enough to send the very best." |

brushing her teeth ,gargling with mouthwash, and chewing gum will help
and just telling her have you checked your breath latley? |

Hi Queen, I have an uncle whose breath was so bad his wife stopped
sleeping in the same room with him. He told his doctor and there really is a cause. This was several years ago, but I remember it had something to do with his saliva and digestion. He had to take a pill, but it seemed to solve the problem Anyway, the thing is, you should say something. If not a friend who? And if a friend does it, it might make her find out if there is a problem. |

What kind of volunteer were you looking for? Someone to call her and
tell her? Someone to email her? Personally, i agree with the others, just tell her, its no big deal. You don't have to be all dramatic about it, just very short and simple and matter of fact. But, if you are trying to get a message to her without risking your friendship, you can send her an anonymous email: google "anonymous email" and you'll find sites. |

Hello Queenbee,I heard or read somewheres before, that this could be a
medical problem, something to do with the stomach. I wish I would have paid more attention, I can't really remember what it said, eccept something to do with the stomach. Still... how do you tell her about it in a nice way? That's a tough one. Good Luck |

It could be colon cleanser required or several things. But it could
simply be her gums. Or gum trouble. Acid or something builds up in the gums and starts to form something there and between the teeth. So since soda neutralizes acid, she must use a toothpaste with bicarbonate of soda and then mix some of the toothpaste (like the toothbrush length)with warm water and keep it in her mouth for about ten minutes. Or mix about 1/4 teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda to a potspoon of warm water with 2 drops of peppermint oil, and do the same. Do not let it go down to and soak the back of her throat. It will interfere with her pallette. Then do not eat or drink between meals except water. She must floss first, then brush teeth. She might also need gum cleaning from a Dentist. How will she get this advice? Follow the advice from Tneal,Redykeulous, and Massagetrade. If she has diabetes, her mouth will have an odour too when the blood-sugar is high. And she must not suck anything looking like a 6 or a 9, especially if they are together. And she will have no problems with bad breath!! |

THATS VERY SIMPLE SWEETIE,ALL YOU HAVE TO SAY IS ""YOUR BREATH SOOOOOO

If you eagerly offer her gum the moment she opens her mouth she'll get
the message, believe me. Even if she declines the gum offer, offer again about one hour later. Repeat. Repeat until she asks if she has 'bad breath or something' with a great big laugh. Time to tell her then. I refused to date three guys in the past three years because they had bad breath and I'm sure they are still wondering what's wrong with them. And I'm not talking about the occasional garlic breath. I wish they had a friend like you to tell them!! It certainly wasn't up to me, almost a stranger, to tell them, 'well, listen, it's your breath ...' Hygiene and having one's gums checked is an absolute must.Then come stomach problems possibilities. Good luck! |

Best thing to do is take her aside with no one else near and explain it
to her,,if she is a true friend she will apreciate it,,if she gets mad and don't want to be your friend after being honest with her,,then she was never a true friend in the first place, I would rather have a buddy take me aside and say Dude you need to brush them teeth, than have a stranger walk up to me and say that. To me that is what friends are for, to help us past our faults, and if it is a persistent problem she may need to speak to her dentist |

You could send her a polite email saying I'm your friend and as a friend
I would hope that you would tell me if there was something about me that bothered others that I didn't notice, so as a friend I'm going to tell you ...... that way if her feelings are hurt - it wasn't a personal, face to face thing. She can choose to avoid you in the future if it makes her mad till she gets over it and when you do see her you don't even have to ever bring it up again. |

***Update****,
We talked about it...(Her BAD BREATH) and she admitted that she has a "digestive problem" with many details I will not dare to share.... Anyway, she is seeing a doctor for the problem. Thank you all for your feedback. I really do appreciate it! |

Thank you for this topic. I know a very pretty girl who has the same
problem. I have not thought of a way to say anything to her. But after reading all the advice, probably being honest is the best way to go. |

Offer a tic tac.
OR - - hint that you want gum... maybe they would want some, as well. |
