tell him u don't wish to talk with him face to face as it turns you off that he doesn't take basic hygienic care of himself and his breath stinks. Also have him ask his parents why they didn't teach his basic stuff that even little kids know.

well depending on how close you are to your friend, you need to tell him the brutal yet honest truth. He needs to see a hygienist to ultrasonicly scrape the plaque from his gumline especially. The plaque is very likely to have turned into something we call calculus which is plaque that has turned hard and no amounts of brushing can remove.
The discolouration is likely to take a while longer to get rid of, and whitening isnt really the safest option on teeth in a poor condition. The best option is probably to get a sensitive toothpaste with a whitening agent in it, not any normal whitening toothpaste because the abrasives will damage the already thinning enamel.
Oh, and tell him to brush his teeth regularly.

I am no dentist, but I know that his teeth will eventually start to decay and fall out. Just tell him that he is being really nasty and needs to take better care of himself. If it is that he cant afford a decent toothbrush or toothpaste, than by all means, please go get him some. He may even have to visit the dentist to remove all of the plaque and disgusting build up that has already accumulated.

He needs an appt. asap with a dentist, if his teeth are yellowish brown has he been smoking, etc.. bacteria forms in between the teeth and gums, he needs a thorough cleaning and x-rays he might have to have them scailed, if there too bad, alot people have that done if they have neglected their dental health..

Here's what u do... Buy some thick rope, tooth bush, and tooth paste. Tie him to a chair and brush those pearly browns. LOL No, but seriously tell him he needs to go to the dentist asap. I don't even want to know what type of gum diseases he has. And I pray he doesn't have a girlfriend.

T hat is disgusting he first needs to rinse with hydrogen peroxide and water to disinfect his mouth and brush his teeth with a regular toothpaste. I can't imagine what his breath smells like
