Dental Opinions, How do you tell someone that they have bad breath
I have this friend that I have know for years. However within the last year her diet or something has changed and now she has bad breath. It really stinks like fish or something. I do not have to be close up to her to smell it either. I thought at first it was just me smelling it since we hang out all the time. Though just the other day I heard some of our co-workers joking about her bad breath.
I want to say something to her without hurting her feeling. She takes things really personal. I do not want her upset with me because I tell her that her breath stinks and that other people are starting to make fun of her. Any suggestions?
Reply: Sometimes the right thing to do is not always easy. If you are really her friend, then take her aside and tell her. Will this hurt her feeling? Maybe. However, in the end if she listens to you she will not have to be hurt even more. How do you think she would feel if she was to hear the jokes that are going around about her at work.
