Answers:
Your question bears out a social problem. I have the reputation of being a cagey kind of guy. So I can just say what's on my mind. However there are times when tact is required. Telling someone that their breath is offensive can create a lengthy and undesirable social rift. My approach is to mention someone else having the oral hygiene issues. You see we are all willing to talk about someone else. You say, "What's wrong with that poor dear, can't she see the sandwich and salad she is still carrying around in her teeth." The listener gets the idea that people really notice other peoples breath and will talk about it and that they need to check there own maintenance. That's if I don't feel like just saying, "dang Yo breaf sho du stank!"
