Yes, he will be slightly embarrassed, but now he'll brush his teeth. [ Erinn_the_bamf's advice column | Ask Erinn_the_bamf A Question ]

Elcee answered Thursday July 5 2007, 6:10 am: Bad oral hygiene is actually quite common. It is normally the lack of attention to detail when cleaning in and around the teeth. Sometimes an abcess can cause bad breath as well as rotten teeth or blocked sinuses. He needs to have his teeth and mouth checked out by the dentist/oral hygienist to make sure that there is nothing nasty lurking in his mouth. As a quick fix solution, before you meet up with him buy some dental gum or breath freshening gum and offer him one at the same time as using one yourself (it should divert the embarrassment away if you chew one as well even though you may not like/want to chew). Sometimes you have to be blunt about these matters because he may not realise just how much it is affecting you. If a few hints gets you nowhere, perhaps having a chat about how much you love fresh mouths to kiss may just be enough to get him thinking. I hope this all helps.

Next time you see him you need to just tell him he has a slight bad breath problem..bring some strong mints with you. He'll understand. Just say "Baby..i love you but your breath stinks". He's not going to be utterly heart broken if you tell him he has bad breath, your just telling the truth.
