If you are close friends I would think you could talk to this friend. If I had bad breath I know my friends would tell me and it wouldnt bother me, I had rather know than be going with stinky breath. Keep some mints with you and the next time offer this friend one and make a joke out of it and offer one to them.

There is no way to do so w/o offending her. But offering someone a mint or gum is not going to neccessarily help either. I have a co-worker w/ extremely bad breath that could fell an elephant and she will not take a mint. Is your friend eating enough? Not eating enough will give people terrible breath. Just tell her.

BreathSaver mints, is sugar free.
I buy them in the 6-8 pkg, I myself use then daily for fresh breath, and have insisted a friend or co-worker take a few. They will ask-do have bad breath or something,& I always say "I think you ate something that's about to get you arrested", they quickly take one & usually do start keeping mints in their pocket & take the hint as positive.

If this person just happens to have bad breath, but it's not common, then don't worry about it and just ignore it.
If your friend has bad breath often, and you feel that it might be interfering with his/her quality of life or relationships, then you could possibly mention it. But only with a spirit of great kindness and compassion, and only with the person's permission.

You offer him gum :) If he is that sensitive no matter how you say it he will be all hurt about it. So my advice is ask him Would you tell me if I had bad breath? If he answers yes than ask Would you want me to tell you? Based on his answer than you can tell him.

Why are you concerned about someones feelings? You weren't concerned when you socked your wife!! Of course it is going to hurt their feelings no matter how you say it. Encourage them to make an appointment with their doctor usually this is a sign of infection.

Just keep offering them mints or gum. Maybe they will take the hint.

If it's a good friend, just tell them and them alone in private. I would say it in a very casual way though and as kindly as possible.

The best way to do it is to ask them if they want a beath mint or gum, and take one for yourself, so that you don't hint them on to your intention.
