Bad breath; what would you do if you found out that your BF/GF has a bad breath?

Well it is true that is is digusting and it sure discourage kissing each other. Well I will offer him/her a fresh sweet so to leave a better breath :)

Wow!! well bad breath starts with keeping your mouth clean. Maybe offer a piece of gum lol carry some around in your pocket i guess haha. My son has bad breath in the morning so sometimes i have to get on him about it and tell him to brush his teeth and his tongue because the smell could also come from his tongue. i never knew that up until a few years ago when my dentist told me. it has helped tho because i told my son he doesnt wanna go to school with bad breath so he does make sure now that he does that before leaving the house in the morning for school. just speak up dont be afraid im sure your other half would like to know and that also shows you care and are paying attention to them.

Hi Friend ! For some people it is usual to have the bad breath but they to consult a doctor for this. Bust they may not be aware that there is a bad smell for their breath unless and until some one point out that. My husband used to have but we took the consultation of a doctor and after that he was fine. You could have said about this to her in a soothing way indirectly, to consult a doctor.To whomever she speaks and converse all will feel the same and anyone should inform. Happy posting and have a nice day.

I would definitely tell them. I wouldnt beat around the bush with it either, I would be direct about it. I think that it is important to be straight with people, especially when it's someone you are trying to have an intimate relationship with. It may embarrass him/her, but it would definitely embarrass them more if they find out from someone else, or even if they just find out later down the road in the relationship. Honesty is the best way to go when dealing with relationships.

Hi Mobhomeir, if I found my girl friend or parent got bad breath, I will tell them the truth about this, this is good for them to know it. And it may concern their health too, may be something wrong with their health, or they should drink more water.

This is a very funny situation and also serious at the same time. I would suggest that you talk to your partner, assure him/her first that what you about to say is not meant to insult or hurt their feelings but it is said with a good intention at heart, then, simply say it. The initial reaction would be embarrassment, but then assure him/her by giving the person a kiss. Normally, I think there is something wrong with the digestive system so it is best to let him/her know this and give advise to seek medical help.

wow... i think it wouldn't happen to me cause i would find out quick about that matter.. hehe.. well if that would happen it depends how bad it is though if that is really a real bad one maybe i will leave him but first i will tell him about it first and try to help him out. if the remedies do not help, then i would probably leave him for good because i can not stand this for the long run and it is no good for both of us for the long run.. but i do believe there are remedies to bad breathe so no worries.. if you love someone i believe everything will work out bad breath is not a big problem.. there must be a cure. happy mylotting

I have a friend who has bad breath sometimes but I know it is from nervousness when he is close to me. I notice my own breath is a bit sour sometimes since I quit smoking. A friend mentioned it once and I was sooo embarrassed as I had had a very stressful morning with my car breaking down while I was several hours away from home in a fairly remote place. I had nothing to eat or drink and I was anxious as well. I 'd had to wait for several hours for help to arrive. I've been really self conscious about it ever since. How do you tell someone they have stinky breath in a nice way???

Bad breath is curable! So, if I love my bf/gf, I would help him/her get it cured. Otherwise, I would say that I am not interested in the relationship. :) Cheers and happy Mylotting

So you ended your relationship with your girlfriend because of her bad breath? Why didn't you just talk to her about it? Anyway, as for me...I wouldn't have trouble telling my boyfriend if he did have bad breath. Were really really close to each other. His like my bestfriend.

My daughter always tell me when I have bad breath. This was due to a root canal that I did and the tooth broke along with sinusitis. if my boyfriend has bad breath I will gently tell him. I would not leave him for that as it means that the relationship did not have any substance. It could be smelly feet, bad body odor... these things can be easily remedied.

For sure bad breath is a turn off. But why didnt you notice before the kiss? Only after? Very interesting. I would think that by the time you knew each other well enough to play tonsil hockey, you would also know each other well enough to tell the other about the bad breath. Does she have bad breath all the time or what? Are you aware that while a woman is ovulating her breath gets bad? I've heard if people have bad breath even when they are having good dental hygene that it could be a physical ailment causing it.

It depends on what is causing the bad breath. In some cases it is due to an underlying health problem. Dehydration can cause bad breath, sometimes acid reflux disease... Also, smoking, drinking coffee, eating a lot of garlic... If it's something they can't control (yes, quitting smoking would be something they could control but it's not going to be an instant fix) then there's no point in mentioning it. Either learn to deal with it or they are probably better off without you and you without them. If it is because of where you went for dinner and they are a boyfriend or girlfriend and not just someone you are casually dating, offer them some gum or a mint and hope for the best. Chances are if you offer them the mint, they'll get the point that the triple onion burger they had for dinner wasn't the best idea they'd had all day and swing into a convenience store for a trial size toothbrush and toothpaste combo and hit the restroom before going on with the date.

Tell him he has a terrible powerful breath :-p sometimes we tease each other in the morning when we wake up but we won't et mad to each other. hehe

Usually there is a reason for bad breath, and if its more than just an occassional occurance due to something that was just eaten, there may be a problem. If I cared about the person whether it be more BF, family member or very good friend, I would tell them. I would tell them that I don't know if they know or not but that they may need to get it checked out. Because of my relationship with them, they would know that I mentioned it to help them and not to embarrass them or hurt their feelings. If you share a relationship with someone you should be able to discuss the good, bad and ugly with them.

yeah i guess it would be a turn off! I do think though that is not nice dumping a person because of their bad breath or because there not good in bed or something like that because if they knew the real reason they would be hurt. But then again if the relationship was not as deep in the first place i guess it would be ok. lol.

Know buddy ... u dont say directly that u have a bad breadth it may heart him/her very badly and may affected ur love a lil bit ... U should say him/her indirectly that my freinds gf/bf has a bad breadth n its reallty embrassing for her and also mention that u too dont like these sorts of person .

bad breath: i will tell she/he that their have bad breath then i ask them to go to dentist or buy a gum for their tooth so they will not shame cause their bad breath

Offer her some tic-tacs. If that didn`t work I would shove them in her mouth. I lived in Korea for 5 years Kimichi breath is no joke.But most people keep mints and brush their teeth after lunch so it`s not that bad. next time carry some mints in you pocket. Take a couple yourself and then offer her some.

i wil just inform her and tell her to use a good mouth spray..............
