It is difficult when talking to strangers and you can smell their aweful breath, but what do you do when your friends breath stink, while not offending them?

breath in front of your friend and ask him if does your breath stinks, if he answers, then you tell him the truth that his breath stinks and tell him to buy mouthwash and visit the his dentist

Hmm I don't think tha'ts the way to go about it. they might have braces. I know when I had mine and I did take care of my teeth, I was always beeing offered mints by my friends especially those that were in the choir with me. Heha! Take care.

Hi. asiatrader4u. Welcome to myLot! Well, I would offer them a breath mint or a piece of gum. I will make sure that I take one too, so that way, they won't think that I am trying to be funny when I give them one too. If they refuse what I give to them, I will just walk away from them and tell them I have to leave.

I just have to laugh as I deal with this all the time. I sometimes don't say anything or I'll casually offer them a mint or some gum. It is not the best situation to be in as it is embarrassing but yeah. And you have to realize some people can't help it. Maybe their ill or something and no matter what you do or what they do they will always have bad breath. Take care all.

Honestly if you want to be a true friend then you'd tell them honestly :) It will hurt their feelings temporarily but it'd make them better because their breath stinks and if you tell them now they can fix it!

No other way but to tell him directly without being offensive, you'll be doing him a favor, and since you are a true friend and I assume you are quite close then I do not think it will hurt that much
