I have really bad breath. I brush my teeth for 3 minutes twice a day and floss, then rinse. My dentist said i do a really good job of keeping my whole mouth clean (cheeks, tongue etc.), but my breath is so bad even I can smell it! I’ve read online to breath in your pets face and see what they do to test how bad it is, this was insulting: my cat closed one eye, started twitching, then put her paws over my mouth! HELP ME! BTW I’M ONLY 13!!

Remain respectful and just mention it when you have some private time with them. Ensure that there are no prying ears when you break the news to them.

One thing that helps is to mention that you are concerned with how customers or other coworkers might think. It may not be appreciated by your customers if they notice the problem as well. This way it does not seem as if you are the one with the complaint.
