Bad Breath! How do you let a co-worker know they smell awful?!


Question: Bad Breath! How do you let a co-worker know they smell awful!?
I work with a women who is 24- is married to a man she does not live with and is an attractive girl!. She has the most rotten breath I have ever smelled!. It reminds me of this old man I used to work with who actually had rotten teeth!. The worst part about this is- she made a comment the other day about how her gums were hurting! I think she has gingivitus, I just do not know of a nice way to let her know- it stinks!!! I like her and want to help her- she is just not the most open person to critisism, and I also work in an office that is only 500 square feet!. Please help! Thanks!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Well, you could send an secret note!. telling her to see a dentist!. Or maybe you could say my cousin just found out he ha s gingivitis, so I'm going to go get checked!. Maybe you should too, since you said your gums are hurting!. Then you could always just go up to her and tell her it stinks in the nicest way you can!. You could also give her some gum or breath mints!. Then kind of let her know her smell is a little overwhelming!. It all depends on how well she will take it!.

Oh no! Poor you!. Most definitely sounds like she has decay in her teeth or gingivitis!.

I would send her an anonymous letter, telling her as nicely as possible that she should go to the dentist or Dr!. for her breath!. Send it through the mail to her at work! Tell her in the letter you care about her and that you can't tell her in person for fear of offending her or embarrassing her!. If you know her home address send it there, even better!. Have someone else write it for you and type it up!. That way it doesn't sound like you!

I believe you would be doing her a favor by telling her!. Especially if she works w/ the public!. She may not be aware of it!. You don't have to say she has dragon-breath and is killing people, just be tactful!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Buy her a basket with different types of breath fresheners in it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Give her gum or a mint hint it slightly =]]Www@Answer-Health@Com

the best way is to tell her and to be frank with her!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
