My Boyfriend Has Very Bad Breath. How Can I Tell Him Without Hurting His Feelings?
I am new to Blurtit and I would like to ask a question
Answer:
There could be a medical or dental related condition for his bad breath. I liked the suggestion of the other lister. If that isn't something you touch comfortable with accompany him to his dental recare appointment. If possible let the hygienist know of your concerns. She will be capable of let you know if his malodor is from an infection in his 'gums', coating on his tongue or other dental related issue. If not, then look into medical reason. Diabetes is sometimes the cause of bad breath.
It may be that he isn't brushing/scraping his tongue. About 80% of the bacteria found surrounded by a mouth is laying on the tongue.
Tongue scrappers can be purchased at the local pharmacy. Tango is one brand that can be sterilized in the dish washer. There are also plastic disposable scrappers from BreathX. Best wishes hope this helped.
Most guys need to hear things straight up. Beating around the bush to get a point across does not work all right with most guys.
Ask him what he has been intake and when was the last time he brushed his teeth. Let him know that your not trying to be mean, it's in recent times that his breath has become unbearable and he needs to consider taking some extramural steps to help with it.
I also suffered with bleak breath when I was younger and wish that people have told me so that I can do as I do now and use mouthwash several times a day. I also found that different types of foods and drink can cause it. Milk, onion, garlic, potato, candies, soda, the enumerate goes on and on.
Make sure you are on your own, ask him a few question about if he has had a cold just this minute, has he had or does he have nasal congestion, trouble breathing when asleep etc, if he does later you can drop it into the coversation that it is affecting his breath as well - he may even know this already. If he has none of these he will then ask you why you are asking - so explain to him, but in a gentle way similar to "well your breath sometimes smells a little and I was wondering if any of those could be the cause" rather than "Cos your breath stinks". He might cart the initiative than and do something about it.
