Keep giving him breath mints. If he says he doesn't want one, just tell him that he needs one.

I had that happen my friend had real bad breath and one day when we were alone I told her this I said I am going to tell you something and I'm not telling you this for any other reason put for the fact that i would want to know before if it was happening to me. I said here it goes your breath is a little smelly. She said really why had you not told me, I said i didn't want to hurt your feelings. She went to the dentist and took care of it and as time passed she know says that she wishes i had told he sooner

i know that sometimes the truth hurts but if you want to keep your friend and save him from future embarrassment you can tell her in a nice matter and when nobody is around. tell her honestly that you are concerned about her and what you're gonna tell her is for his own sake. if she is a true friend. she'll be happy and thankful for you made her aware of his situation. advice her to get to the dentist and have good oral habits. for more tips on how to banish bad breath visit http://www.themouthdoctor.com

I had a situation like that with a friend. I stopped by a store once and bought Listerine. I told him I meant to buy it earlier for myself but I had forgotten. I used some and offered him some. He took it without being offended, and i left it in my car. Every time he got in the car after that incident, he would use the Listerine. Without me offering him. It worked fine for me and he was not offended.

as quickly as I come across somebody with undesirable breath instead of asserting something I attain for the wonderful weapon : slightly gum or a mint and supply it to them and so as that they do no longer experience awkward I devour one too . Works each and every of the time .

If his friendship is worth keeping, then tell him! Am sure he will be grateful that you are honest with him. Do it in a subtle way, when you are alone with him, not in front of a third party. Suggest ways in which you think he can improve his breath but don't belittle him! Good luck!

Just carry gum w/ you and offer him some everytime you meet. Mints would be a dead giveaway, but gum works too. He'll probably just assume you like gum, and most people usually don't turn down gum. If he does, then you might have to be more direct.

offer him breath mints over and over...then in private tell him that your trying to help him out, hes a dragon, or ask him what he ate because its been hanging in there for days...Guys dont know what to do to take care of this problem but you can save the day by getting him hooked on breath mints and gum and have some tounge scrapers just lying around or pull one out and start using it in front of him...he will be like, wtf you doing? You say...working on my haltosis as you gag the hell out of yourself with the tounge scraper, hehe...it could be comical, just dont throw up, hehe, or do if your Sara Silverman...hehe. Take Care.-Rachel.

Kayan, reality says that he would probably appreciate you being honest with him about his breath. Although he might appear a little put off and/or upset with you initially. Hopefully he will realize that you are informing him for his own good and appreciate your honesty.

bring it up in a conversation but make you the person with the problem. you follow. make something up about how you used to have bad breathe and the doctor blah blah blah. hell probably be like oh! me too. see how that works.
