advice about telling a friend she has bad breath
my room mate has really bad breath she has for awhile (a mutual friend and i have noticed) but recently all of our friends are starting to say things and noticing it . She is sensitive about most things so i don't want to say something that will hurt her feelings or make her mad but i think she needs to know rather than hearing it from someone randomly. what should i do? and how should i do it?

well this mite sound a little out of the ordinary but what you should do is always hand her gum (mint) then after giving her that talk about how you saw in the news or newspapers that brushing your tounge will help you from diseses(sry cant spell rite today) and if she still isnt getting the message just go to her and tell her : look ive have noticed something about you.... everytime you talk your i can smell your breath and it doesnt smell so nice.

This happened to a friend of mine recently because she had horrible body odor. I tried hinting as much as I could, I even bought her perfum which didn't help. She never really got the picture until one of our friends just blurted it out. We all laughed about it and she thanked us a thousand times for letting her know.
So you could either:
1. Buy a bunch of packs of mints, leave them in your room and tell her she is welcome to help herself.
2. Actually tell her yourself she had bad breath. Just do it nicely, "Hey, you might want a tic-tac incase we see any cute boys out there!"
3. Keep dropping hints by saying someones breath stinks when you're around her, that might be too hurtful though.
GoodLuck<3

when there is a group of ya'll around, say "woo! you need a tic-tac!" to one of your other friends, and act like you are inspector person (to be funny) then do it to her, and maybe she'll wake up and realize it stinks.

ok well i would get a tongue cleaner and be using it and then tell her how much you love it. tell her how clean your mouth feels and how you love clean teeth and clean mouths. (bad breath usually comes from the gunk on the back of your tongue).
then tell her that she should get one too because they're so "awesome"...or you could even buy her one. you can also switch the toothpaste to one thats a bacteria killer and that has the mini pocketstrips in it (they act as mouthwash). and you can also offer her minty gum on a constant basis for a while...and it might possibly get her semi addicted to it which could definitely help.
hope i helped!

Be like, "Hey I got some Winterfresh gum, you want some?" Or do the mint thing. I don't think many people would get mad, just make sure she's in a good mood if she's really that sensitive. Don't tell her in public, just tell her when you're alone with her. Or if you're afraid of her reaction, maybe like...e-mail her? I know it sounds stupid when you live with her but, if you think there's a way she could be embarassed in person e-mail's the way to go.
Good luck <33

don't come right out and say it. for all you know, she may have a medical condition or something (unlikely, but possible). if i were you, i would chew gum and mints in front of her 24/7. also, make a remark about how you got this new kind of whitening toothpaste and it tastes really good. she will probably get the hint. but if she doesn't, there's not really anything else you can do without hurting her feelings. just try not to breathe her rank breath.

First you should buy personal products like listerine and breathmints and tell her that it makes your breath smell real good have her smell your breath and tell her you really like it and have her try it and see if she likes it instead of hurting her feelings
or you can buy lots of toothpast and toothbrushes and mints in the house and she may pop 1 in

Tell her you have these mints that you love & that she should try them, or just don't say anything at all. If she's sensitive, you're probably going to hurt her.
