I'v been wondering why people suffering from mouth odour never got anyone to tell them so that they may seek remedy. One respected man was in my office today. A civil servant speaking good Queen's English. Not that I'm making jest of him, as he flaunts his good grammar, houseflies came from nowhere, seeking for the source of the bad odour that filled my office. I'v also had some friends in the past who I never felt confident to advice about the solution to their gravely stinking mouths. I couldn't turn away from that man because he came for a business but what I endured during his two hours stay in my office was like enduring a thousand years of rain. Please how can one be polite in telling a friend about it without sounding offensive?

Forget it,if you are truly close to the person you will tell the person,politely or otherwise

Resolved It's not that easy to tell someone with mouth odour the truth but if you put yourself in the person's shoes you will definitely want him/her to tell you.

It is just plain hyprocrisy!!! If u say u're close to someone and u can tel him/her d truth, i wonder how we treat our enemies den?
Anoda tin is dn't expect dem to like wat u will say even if u say it lovingly, d truth is never palatable to anyone bt we always appreciate it on d long run.

With strangers, it's definitely hard to say something.
With someone close, you ought to tell them.

It's an awkward conversation to have and you don't want to hurt their feelings, but approaching them in a gentle manner is a start and telling them you care would assure them you're not trying to be mean about it. There might be more to it than just ordinary bad breath, so they should take heed, if not for anything, for their health.

I treat relationship wit great care. Dt's why i find it dificult to tel them. I was wit a coursemate who was suferin frm mouth odour for 5years. It was lik he neva knew he was sufering frm such, judging frm d way he carried himself about. If a man is nt aware dt he needs help, trying to help him may strain d relatnship.

If you truly care about the other individual, you would tell them the truth. If someone's unaware that they need help, that's the more reason why you should inform them. It all depends on your manner of approach. If you approach them gently and it still strains the r/ship, then you didn't have much of a r/ship to begin with.

U may be right somewhat. I shine in public wit enuf wellwishers(maybe friends) bt back in my room, I shut mysev to d outside world... it's my dream to live as such.
