Persistent bad breath even after proper oral hygiene can be an indication of a more serious condition like in kidney or liver. Help the person to get help beyond over-the-counter. A visit to a dentist for through examination can help. If need be, see a physician too!


Nditto.

Google 'Candida' (can also be sexually transmitted) or 'Bad odor'. There are many sufferers out there. A person might need to make a complete lifestyle change. This with the guide of a dentist, gastroenterologist and nutritionist. It might not be a little problem as some would assume.

And like someone said, outright honesty in a loving way. How about a lengthy loving letter.


@Mukiri
This is very insightful. I will explore honesty and support the person. It is somewhat scary as to what the cause could be and the treatment process.

I would sugest a visit to a general practitioner for initial recommedations, this is the best bet.

Maybe its natural. If you have read "The Governments Inspector" by Nikolai Gogol, you will remember that one of the characters (cant recall his name) had a breath that reeked of whiskey and as he explains, there was nothing he could do about it (humor of course)

...where do i sta(r)t? i know Notorious BIG once said something about sanitation in the song 'one more chance' but in this case there was nuthin' being got! i have always been an advocate for personal cleanliness and have admired ladies who keep high standards of hygiene but i didn't realise how much the absence of the aforementioned quality would cripple a grown man... particularly when it comes to light unexpectedly at the moment of great expectation!... excuses ranged from a headache, to being worn out, to muscle cramps, even the cold weather... but a week is a long time my friend and when these excuses could not be utilised any more... plenty of EtOH plus a well executed plan of a mutual cleaning session made things momentarily bearable... never seen days go by so slowly... even on my worst enemy,i wish not this to happen...Pray Pray Pray

tell him/her to accompany you to a dentist for your own checkup and while at it suggest to them to see the same doctor after you are done. Make sure you explain this to the doctor in advance

Google cure for halitosis. One major cause is cavities and may need deep cleaning by a dentist and possible extraction. Mouthwash mostly masks it but does not do the trick. Flossing is very important too along with brushing teeth 2x/daily.

sounds like the best solution. you can fake a toothache or something you just need to get him to see your dentist though if he/she is smart they should figure it out. Laughing out loudly

Update?

There are many diseases that lead to bad breath and body odor, among them cancer. A little compassion and empathy would go a long way.

Major culprit of bad breath, where dental hygiene is met and loss of sense of smell has occurred, are the sinus. Among the diseases affecting sinus are
1. Sinusitis (with constant post nasal drip)
2. Rhinitis (There are several versions of this disease)
3. Diphtheria
4. Tuberculosis of nasal mucosa
5. TMAU

Proverbs 19:21
