Nowadays I just give it to people who keep bothering me with their bad breaths everytime I see them, since it's really annoying that you get to a point where your hands are covering your nose or you simply can't keep up with what the person is saying and eventually you end up excusing yourself from continuing the conversation with the person.

---------

I personally think that they know they have a problem and they are too arrogant to care about what others have to go through/feel..

How can a person meet others without brushing their teeth? How can they live with themselves? Its horrible and disgusting :yuk:

have chewing gum in your handbag, as soon as you smell bad breadth, just go: Here, have a chew

Bad breath may not only be caused because of not brushing one's teeth...some people actually have chronic bad breath and like even if they brush their teeth their breath will still be smelly and they will not be aware of it...Poor people lol...

About people who purposley not brush their teeth...didn't their parents ever tell them the story of the creatures that grow on your teeth during the night and will go into your tummy and eat your food unless you brush your teeth coz that's the only way to kill them? My parents did!! And now I brush my teeth twice a day :D

Markov thats a good idea, lol!

Pen it Black I guess some people are too stubborn to do so!

A pack of extra will do ;)

ugh...hope this person is not your boyfriend. imagine kissing a person with such breath..
carry mints, chewing gum, mouthwash, those transparent sheets you put on your tongue etc..
if all else fails, a gas mask with a 'go away smelly' written on it should do the trick.

Once When I used to teach I had to cancel one of the lectures and instead I give a lecture about this issue as I suffered from my students. The problem with this issue that others can smell you but you can not smell yourself.

:hyper: Gas mask! hahaha!

Bint Arab thats true some people don't seem to know it till you make the big step and tell them!

Thank god i dont hang out with people who got bad breath! :p

hehe .. but yeah .. in the recent days .. i have noticed people do stink more than the other days i think because of the coldness that we have the moment :hyper: .. but thats still not an excuse! .. i noticed even girls stink this days! :os ..

Well, It sucks...what sucks more? Cigarette-bad-breath.

Or coffe bad breath! hint teachers !

I agree on the mints and extra gum just act nice and give them one or the whole thing if you have too ;)

^^ haha yah but be as polite as possible :hyper:

Well, It sucks...what sucks more? Cigarette-bad-breath.
No.. I tell you what sucks the most. Come Ramadan and EVERYONE stinks. There's no getting away..

I brush my mouth twice before (sun rise)Al Fajar Prayer and after Al Ma3'reeb(sun set) in Ramadhan so I don't bother myself or people around me.

I been polite with a certain some1 but recently I had a serious long talk with them about it, it's a serious problem since many people tend to talk about others behind their backs instead of walking to the them and telling them that its not okay and they should really do something about it.

If the person is close to you then I don't see any harm in being honest about it, but if you don't really know the person then the situation can be a bit tricky. Anyways, I disagree with you about them knowing about it, because usually when someone tells another that he/she has bad breath then you actually do notice a shocked expression on their faces, I genuinely think that people don't necessarily notice their own bad breath unless it reaches to extreme levels of course.

Anyways..with friends I'm usually blunt about this because I too cannot stand it.

Is brushing your teeth enough if you don't eat though? Doesn't bad breath come from the stomach and the acids?

Well, true they do get shocked but seriously how can a person have this issue every single time you see them? Is it possible they don't know about it?

Thalia I never had that problem but you got a point there some people have bad breath in Ramadhan.

I hope you one day have a shawarma and talk to someone you like and they say you have bad breath.
Anyway.
I just keep my distance when they have bad breath and talk less.
Someone in my class wanted help in MS word and asked me if I could do this in MS word (and I obviously could)
And I said no.
Because his breath smelt so...
Violent!
Thats the only word that could describe his breath.

yeah, some people don't actually realize they have bad breath. just like how some people stink and not realize they're stinky, unless flies started to drop dead whenever they approach them of course. :p

if it's someone close then i'd tell them. i always do, like: girl, you smell like paplo, lol.
if not I'll avoid talking to them up-close? xD i don't know..

Avoid talkin' to people. if you had to, then just talk from a distance.

thats what I do.

i think you better tell them, they may not be knwoing about it but do it in a friendly way or as you are just making fun ( i do it and it works :D ) .

coz you won't be avoiding them all the time, better tell them once and talk normal with them the rest of your days.

i don't mind my husband or children telling me my breath smells. i have no problem telling them either.....i do it nicely like 'sweety, did you clean your teeth today?' they appreciate it better rather than they go on bothering other people with smelly breath.

Maybe you can drop them an anonymous written note saying that their breath stinks and that they should seriously do something about it. :P

bad breath comes from dry-mouth. n bcoz of remaining food paricles when u eat.
Thats y dentists advise ppl to brush their teeth b4 leaving home after their B.F.
and if some1 cant juz get rid of it,let him keep wid him grapefruit.I Read once that it is good for bad breath.

Yet another one of charm's lovely threads...
hmmm well, i'd probably just make an excuse and say i have to go and be somewhere.that is a tough one..never happened to me really.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL OH MY GOD! hahahahahha..THIS is coming from YOU??? :XD: omg you have no idea how hard i am laughing:XD: although, it could be a good idea..hmmmm..i never tried it! :6:haha..good one..yet crazy??lol

I find the note thing is kind of rude.. It looks like u r making fun of him/her.
IF i faced such person who his/her mouth stinks, I would just try to talk and putting my hand in my face or nose every once in a while to avoid smelling his/her breathes..
I really can't tell him/her, UNLESS he was a close friend !! That's it .. :)

I might be one of these people who are straight forward, but I never told anyone that their breath stinks. What I usually do is try to avoid sitting next to them or having a conversation with them. I keep it short and distant when they are around.
