They are not consistently AWARE of their own smell.
Or, health problem exist and they are unaware of it.

I'm sure they just don't realize it's bad. Offer them some gum. If you don't want to make it obvious that you're saying they have bad breath take a piece yourself and then offer them one. That way it looks like you're just sharing with her instead of suggesting they need the gum.

Give them a mint, perhaps they will take the hint and brush. That is gross, it would make me physically ill, I would have to let them know that their breath was horrible.

Besides, who wants to smell someone with dragon breath
?

This is so true. Try telling them they have a problem, or always have a mint on hand and then offer then one. If they refuse the mint you are SOL.

lol. I have experienced that too.
I think people tend to back off and turn away, so they feel like people are ignoring them, so they move in closer to keep peoples' attention.
