Give her some breath strips and tell her in a tactful way.

Be nice to grandma!!!!!!!!!! Maybe buy her an electric toothbrush for christmas. Alot of bad breath is caused by plaque (the sticky stuff you brush off of your teeth). Electric toothbrushes get more plaque off than regular toothbrushes. If you dont want to do that, does she have a son or daughter in the picture??? She might not be upset if it comes from her own child instead of her grandchild. Is your grandmother in good health or bad health? If she is in bad health she may need help brushing her teeth. What ever you do, be gentle in your words, and don't use the word stank with her. Maybe you could broach the subject by asking her "do you have any teeth that are bothering you? I just noticed that you have an odor coming from your mouth that I dont think has always been there"?? Good Luck.

dont say stank first off... if your going to tell her then be nice... dont it will you are alone with her... maybe she does not even know and will probably appriciate it. Tell your sorry but that her breath is a bit stinky.
I dont know just try to be direct but without the pain remember she still granmam.

THIS FOR ONE IS PROOF POSITIVE PEOPLE CANNOT PERCEIVE THEIR OWN BAD BREATH.
GO AND LET HER KNOW BY ASKING IS SHE HAD BAD BREATH WOULD SHE WANT TO KNOW?
IF SHE DOES TELL IN A KIND AND LOVING WAY.

Go out and tell her, I guess.. If possible, you could just ignore it, like when you talk to her don't get too close to her face, or talk to her while you're doing something, so you don't have to look towards her.
