"you have naturally bad breath"
thing is she probably already knows.. if she doesn't and is your friend, she shouldn't be offended...
 
most of these solutions to her breath problem won't help. Didn't we learn anything in the last few threads about breath ?

Alcohol-containing mouthwashes only make it worse because it dries your mouth. Diet has little if anything to do with it. I think it was just 1% of the population who actually had problems stemming from digestional problems... the rest are people with problems within the tongue/back of the tongue. Oxygen is what naturally kills the bacteria/sulfur smell so use a product promoting it. therabreath.com covers a lot of this. I think YMMV was the one who enlightened us.

This has always intrigued me.

Is she pretty? Do pretty girls have stanky breath? That would be funny.

I wonder why, maybe it's intestinal? I know garlic supplements cause bad breath, maybe something she eats?

I need more info, it's up to you to keep me entertained.

Maybe she does not brush her toungue, that and bad teeth can make some pretty rancid breath

Both of these are easily treatable, I'm curious as to why she does ont notice her breath is bad, and I demand pics or a description.

eh, most people don't unless someone tells them.

I dunno about you, but I don't think I've ever smelled anybodys breath and been like "Wow, your breath smells good!".. it kinda comes with the territory. Although, obviously, some are going to be worse than others.

sort of like the expression..You can't smell your own gaseous odor, or body odor(At least I hope so...there are some funky people out there). You grow used to it and become numb.
 
Everytime you're alone with her, sniff the air and act like your checking your shoes for dog sh!t. :beer:😀
 
Girlfriend? MSN had something on this once, the one article I ever read on MSN. Take omg teh awesome care of your mouth, as an example. If she shows up at your place, be brushing your teeth when she arrives. All time. Stuff like that. If that doesn't work, get some flowers and put a roll of mints inside. Walk up to her, hand her the mints and start eating the flowers.
 
Eat a pound of cabbage, a whole raw onion and then kiss her, then say see what it's like for me !

Screw ettiquete, just tell her she has halitosis. Bad breath is unpleasant, she doesn't want to have it and although it's unpleasant to be told you have it, it's better to know than NOT know. So get the guts to tell her and help her figure out what is causing it. Keep in mind that it can be caused by things that oral hygiene cannot fix. Drugs, infections and many other things can cause it, but knowing you have it puts you 50% of the way to fixing it.
 
Its a tough thing to do. I broke up with a girl because her breathe reaked of garlic. That and she was posessive. The breathe bothered me more, but couldn't tell her.
 
If you know her well enough just tell her. The fact is that most adults have bad breath. It seems that once a person hits around 20 or so their mouth starts to rott. Mine smells like a landfill, half of which is made up from decaying bodies (diseased bodies). It's no worse than most peoples' though. You need to attack the thing with brushing but more importantly a constant supply of gum, since brushing teeth only keeps your breath nice until the mint wears off. You can also try some of the more expensive (found at drug store) oxygenating pastes/mouthwashes, but in the end nothing works as well as constantly chewing on a piece of gum.
