Do your research and come up with a solution.

Then help her by gently offering the solution to the lady.

Telling her she has mouth and body odour without coming up with the solution is just plain insult

There are more than a dozen ways to do that without putting yourself in a bad spot.

1. First of all you need to become his intimate friend. He needs to believe you're his friend. Because you can't change a man who is not your friend or else the consequences would be massive

2. Make sure you use indirect speech.

3. Try as much to be both polite, friendly and formal in your speech.

4. When you're done make sure you blame his problem on something else, not him so he doesn't suffer lost of confidence

You can start by asking her which Toothpaste do you use?

If u guys are "paddy" and u joke, u can stylishly tell her one day like that.

Just tell her, wow, Atutupoyoyo, u look great this morning and smell nice ... then quickly add, "one more thing though, have u been eating garlic?"

Of course she will say no and will get the message and further ask u if she has mouth odour. Tell her yes (with all seriousness).

She will appreciate it.

Though most mouth odours are not coming from the mouth; some are from the stomach/throat. A lil anti biotic sometimes does the trick.

It is very awkward but you have to inform the person in order to help the person out. If you device polite means to say it, then your relationship will be properly maintained. If you say it impolitely then you lose a friend.

Do this:

Ensure that the person speaks right in your face again. Then carefully ask the person if he or she ate garlic. The person will definitely say no. Let that first day go. Then you try it again two or three other times and you will hear the same NO.
If the person asks why you keep repeating that garlic question then tell the person that garlic smells from his or her mouth. That should bring the person to the consciousness of the fact that you or other people know the problem.

Next you can ask the person get a drug to improve his or her breathe and carefully brush his or her mouth everyday. You can also help the person search for a good drug that helps manage mouth odor. That should help the two of you.

just tell her but not in a rude way. Just b free about it.

You can also type suggestions on how to treat bad mouth odour and general body odour , the drop on her desk.
Tell her to get some local herbe toothpaste, shave her private parts like Arm -Pit, use deodorant and get chewing gum to keep her mouth fresh.

Alternatively, use can start a weekly HSE (Health Safety and Environment)nugget in your office by drop tips through intranet for all staff to read, you may start with safety awareness, how to prevent been attacked during this festive season:don't leave home too early, don't use unconventional transport like local cab, don't walk alone, don't carry cash, understand your neighborhood and then give recent examples of people there were victims of poor safety awareness.
Then move on to health, dwell on personal hygiene, write on body odour and mouth odour. How it can make internal and external customers to avoid staff, how it can be treated. Let it be clear it is both a social and health issue not good for the individual and image of the company. Dwell on scientific causes,and treatment.
Ask staff to drop comments on how to treat body odour.
Third week talk about environment. Discuss drainage, flooding, traffic and health implications etc
Ask staff to contribute by posting on HSE discussion weekly. All staff should read it including the MD

I once have a friend with mouth odor and I got him toothbrush and mouthwash as a gift and he understood the message i was trying to pass across.

But you're a man how did you give a fellow man a gift without the gesture looking gay? Was it like "Bro here's a gift" or was it like " I got you mouthwash when I was shopping and thinking about you" or was it " O boy take" Advice needed please.

Each time she is about to talk to you, offer her TomTom.... Eventually she'll catch the drift....
As for the BO, just tell her to stop using the soap she is using, it smells funny

Get her a good toothpaste, roll on and perfume. Politely tell her it's a gift from you.

Before you give her...tell her it seems the toothpaste she uses do expire within a short time. She should try the one you will give her.

Share a story about how people feel when someone has a mouth odor...but it has to be two of you alone and give good solutions such as visiting a dentist, flossing daily or using a mouth wash after brushing and brushing before going to bed at night. Perhaps she may have tonsilitis or tooth decay.
Re: How Do I Tell My Colleague She Has Mouth Odor? by carlos1(m): 7:55am On Nov 06, 2019
Most people don't know mouth odour most times comes from inside d stomach. If ur stomach is dirty, u ll definitely exhale bad breath (which usually smells like a welders carbide) mouth odour which comes from inside the stomach to the mouth through the oesophagus n not always as a result of dirty mouth. I know people with bad breath n mouth odour that brush at least 5times daily but d odour still persisted. The first solution is stomach detoxification to clear all the over due rotten reminants in d belly n u ll be surprised. The second option is to ensure she brushes her mouth (d walls above d tongue, her teeth, her tongue and putter gullet). Not just brushing d teeth. Most people don't know how to clean d mouth. One other secret, stop late night feeding, lots of food eaten at night don't digest and can turn to junk in ur belly n cause these odour. Moreover it also leads to pot belly.

Keep a pack of gum on your table at all times. When she comes in, take one and offer her one.

If she refuses, tell her she really needs to accept your offer if she wants to converse with you.
