How should you react to it, should you suggest gum? if I don't have gum, what should I do?? Should I wiff my hand across my nose??? or should I just tell him/her??

What about if I DON'T have ANY type of breath-freshners??

Well it's my boss. She comes close to me and leans by my desk and talks to me.....and I can't even breath.

And it smells like she brush her teeth with diarrhea fecal toothpaste and gargled on urine w/ a tract infection.

If you're close enough, as in good friends, I don't think there's anything wrong with kind of jokingly saying, "hey girl, what'd you have for lunch (breakfast, whatever)?? Can I offer you a mint (or piece of gum)?" Make light of it; don't make it a big thing. You don't want to embarrass her. But if it's someone you don't really know very well, you're better off just suffering through it and excusing yourself when you're able to, rather than embarrass them. Don't call attention to it. Most likely, the person doesn't know they have bad breath and it will just make them feel even worse! :)

Make sure to carry some mints with you, then take them out, have one and offer some to your boss. If they don't get the hint after several times, I'd suggest breathing through your mouth, and trying to keep your distance. I mean, it's kinda hard to tell your boss (unless you're good friends)!!

Don't be mean about it, find some kind of way to nicely tell them. They probably don't know. If you can't build up the courage to tell them put peppermints or strong breath mints in your mouth before they approach you, it always blocks my sense of smell (other than the peppermint itself) for awhile.

LOL...
If it's your boss, you KNOW he / she is coming ...don't go to work without ALTOIDS, and offer them one. Your only option is to just tell him/her...especially if you like them, tell them. Be humble, because it also could be a medical problem. Just do it with tact, and grace and apologize like you had the bad breath. I find if you turn a negative situation around to make it seem like it's your fault, you come to a resolution much faster...good luck :)

LOL. Gum increases salivation. offer a mint when you grab one. That and maybe maintain a lil breathing room when talking.

My husband had the comparable ingredient, he might push the crap out from the decrease back of his throat. He asked his dentist approximately it yet i do no longer think of he quite had any concepts. i might continually recognize while that stuff had amassed back, guy it stinks! i may well be like bypass sparkling your throat back. It doesnt ensue anymore so i'm undecided what it replaced into or why it occurred.

Bad breath seems to travel downwards, so I would stand up and step away, tilting my head upwards.

Depends on the person talking.. At a job interview I'd grin and bear it if it was a friend I'd tell them.

Tell him: "Have you ever heard of brushing your teeth? Or at least a breath mint?!? Gawds! It's like you had a rat crawl up inside your mouth and just died!"
(Usually the direct approach is better for me. :0) )

Breathe through your mouth... then you won't smell it... or just make sure you're far away from her... you can't tell her; she's your boss!
