First it's good that you are friends but sometimes being truthful with someone jeopardizes friendships when the other person doesn't understand. You might consider typing a letter to her, be careful how you word sentences or say things for most people have a style of saying things that give them away. You might send an anonymous letter, from someone she will think is a potential boyfriend. Say something to the fact .. you are a really sweet girl and have a great personality and I was thinking about asking you out but there are a few things you might want to know and that bother me about you. I'm only telling you this because I care and I know you are a beautiful girl and could be all that much more beautiful.
Send from another location than your local mail box and when she gets it, if you are a very close friend, she will most likely share that information. You then, as a friend, can either choose to agree with them or lessen the blow by saying you know I don't think it's that bad but if you want to do something about it here is what you can do or here is what I do to help and elaborate on some things you feel she can do that would help. This way you are being truthful with her on a very tender subject yet can do so as a caring friend that might not get her so defensive. Know though that the letter will hurt her or make her mad but then telling her to her face would do the same only this way you would jeopardize not as much. At least that's what I feel. Again just make sure when the note is written compliment her on many things but just add the negative things in with the good.

These things are never easy to tell a friend, just think would you want someone to tell you, and how would you want them to tell you? Another Idea is go and find her a cool tooth brush and some flavour tooth paste, add in some chapstick(so she doesn't get insulted) and give it to her as a gift!
Oh and for the girl that said green teeth is not possible, OH YES IT IS, I have seen some really nasty mouths

First, oooohhhh! Well, I would do something like next time you are out with her, make a comment about brushing your teeth after you've eaten something. Or you could tell her that you just went to the dentist and about your dental history. Ask her what kind of toothpaste/brush she likes best. But if you are a good friend, you should just come out and tell her that it looks gross and she smells bad. Does she ask you how she looks in a certain outfit? And if she does, do you tell her? If she does ask you about clothes, hair, make up, etc., and you tell her, why be shy about something that serious. It might hurt her at the moment, but in the long run, you could be saving her from being humiliated or made fun of in front of others.

Oh my gosh! I have the same problem! It's horrible, she has....well I wont go into detail...Let's just say sometimes I can't stand to look at her or be near her when she's talking. I've never found a way to tell her, sometimes I'll hint....but not obviously. Maybe if we're at her house getting ready to go out I'll say something like, "Well you ready? Need to comb your hair or brush your teeth or anything?" Sounds mean, but she never catches on anyway. I don't know what to do otherwise though. Deal with it is what I always end up doing...

Put a mirror in front of her and tell her she has some "things" on her teeth. LOL J/K but seriously, if this is a friend of yours, then tell her. She should appreciate having a friend in her life who feels close enough to her to tell her to the truth. Whenever me and my friends see someone in a ridiculous outfit, with an awful hairdo, or a bad make-up job, we always look at eachother and say something like.."that poor thing aint got no friends". LOL

its hard telling some one close to you a bad thing about them. say somethin like" please dont take this the wrong way or in a funny way but ive notice your teeth have become yellow. ask her if she noticed it aswell. and tell her that there are some good products on the market that will sort it out. buy whiting tooth paste, month wash and dentel floss. use twice daily. tell her that you'll go shopping with her to buy it. and just tell her that you was abit concerned cus you dont want her getting problem with her dentel health. and if she does all that them the bad breath will be no more...
good luck.

a friend of mine had the same problem, but eventually all her teeth fell out so she got false ones, but at least they were not green!
just tell her straight, "you have bad teeth, you must do something before you lose them all" or something like that, no need to mention the breath, the dentist will do that!

oh noooo... you poor aspect. you've performed each and every thing i'd recommend, yet i imagine it appears like this boy desires some clinical help. consistent halitosis is a demonstration that some thing is incorrect such as his health. both he desires more effective water or is lacking a nutrient someplace. get rid of all junk nutrition out of your position and convey him quite some glasses of water. when you've been jointly for a even as, you may want to ask him if he's been to the health care professional those days. even as he solutions "why?" you may want to assert "properly, i noticed your breath is especially sturdy and that i'm in contact, often it fairly is a demonstration of a few form of ailment and that i'm fearful about you." This purely fairly works on fairly close acquaintances and fans, so do not attempt to apply that on like, coworkers or some thing. yet I do desire he does some thing about it, on your sake. it isn't any longer uncommon for romances to end because one man or woman is made unattractive to the different because of a few thing like that. it fairly can kill the courting.

Pull her off to the side. "Friend, you know I love you and always want the very best for you. Take better care of your mouth. Brush often, so I don't ever have to have this conversation with you again. Besides, you have such a pretty smile, it'll just make it that much better. Hey. I'm a clean freak...what can I say?"

A good friend will be nice about it and say nothing, but a great friend is honest even if it would hurt her feelings. She'll thank you for it later if you just tell her what the problem is, even if it'll hurt her feelings right now. You should tell her, and be nice, but keep in mind that if you don't tell her, who will?
