Dear Queenie,
I have a friend who has such bad breath that it is hard to be close enough to them to have a conversation.
Queenie, should I say something to them? I’m sure it must cause a problem with other people too.—Disgusted friend
Dear Disgusted friend,
Yes, you should say something to them – quietly and in private! It may be difficult, even embarrassing, but in the long run you will be doing them a favour. Mention that bad breath can be a symptom of a dental or physical problem and suggest that they see a dentist and/or a doctor.
