Jerry asked:
I always have to hold my breath whenever we’re together cos the smell is extremely awful.
My closefriend has bad breath. How do I tell her without offending?

well, i been using vanilla mint listerine and it is awesome and it works. i have a throat problem so it was causing my breath to be a little abnormal also…this vanilla mint stuff isnt as strong or yucky as regular listerine…
u can tell her…omg, i just started using vanilla mint listerine and its soo cool u should try it!!
…something along those lines…and if she doesnt get a clue, u gotta tell her…she will appreciate ur honesty–especially if ur nice about it…
Be gentle but be honest! I have had people tell me “You need a mint” And that’s ok with me. I hate when I have a boogie in my nose or something on my teeth and no one tells me. There is no need to be abrupt or rude but do be truthful. Perhaps there is a need for flossing or a dental check up. I have found that using floss, a water pik with hydrogen peroxide and water or just gargling with hydrogen peroxide makes a big difference. One thing to consider when discussing bad breath…We can’t smell our own breath…we need each others help that way!
I am glad you asked this- I look forward to seeing what people will say- I have a friend with perpetual rotten breath, Even sitting on opposite ends of the couch, it’s lethal.
The best thing to do is tell her gently. She is most certainly unaware and chronic bad breath could mean she has a serious health problem. Put yourself in her shoes. If you smelled bad all of the time would you not want to know? It might hurt her feelings at first but she will probably thank you in the end. I experienced something similar some time back and the individual was grateful to me for saying something…
