I have this guy..I really like him..he likes me..everything is DANDY..except as title reads..his breath!
Let me go ahead and say..while I stayed the night w. him last week I asked for some toothpaste and he only had a very TINY little squeeze left..and I made it a point then and there to mention my weird oral hygeine thing and that I have this weird thing about it etc..etc.. (I don’t..just fresh breath..thats all..I was hoping he’d jump on the hint all by himself)….anyway..I did notice his toothbrush worn to pieces and is in dire need of replacement but since we’ve only been dating a month I thought it’d be too soon to just surprise him with a brand new one and hope that cures all
PLEASE help with advise..not the sarcasm replies please bc I’d really like to get this resolved in the best way without hurting feelings..

Just buy a new toothbrush and toothpaste set for him and say “Here’s a present for you.” Just say I think its time you replace your old toothbrush.. but try not to mention his smelly breath.. He’ll get your subtle point.
just offer him gum or if you go shopping with him tell him to get toothpaste since hes running out
ya, I have the same problem as u, a guy that i like, and he likes me, has bad breath, and so it smells really bad when you start talking really closely face to face.
Idk what to do either, b/c i haven’t confronted him either!!
I toss a piece of gum into their mouth while they talk to me.
When hes talking to you be like, “Baby what’d you eat?” or “Did you forget to brush your teeth?” and give him a piece of gum. It depends on you personality.
Unless he’s really sensitive he won’t be offended.
I’m not really sure what else you can do but keep dropping hint’s, if you are nervous about hurting his feeling’s. Have you tried suggesting mint’s, or chewing gum? ‘Extra’ spearmint gum is my personal favorite.
Maybe you could ask him how long it’s been since he changed his toothbrush? Comment on how worn it looks. I know that it seems easier said (or typed) than done, but if you really like the guy, perhaps honesty is the better option.
Casually ask him if he would like a piece of winter fresh gum or some other kind of gum flavor. Also, for any kind of gift giving event, give him a gift basket full of dental hygiene stuff and say you have an aunt or uncle or some other relative that is a dentist and they gave you all of that stuff and you didn’t know what to do with it. Only say that if he gets that questioning look or something that makes him look like he’s puzzled.
When you understand what causes bad breath you can easily discuss this with your guy and bad breath will no longer be an issue.
The majority of bad breath comes from the top of the tongue, especially the back one-third where bacteria grow and produce those bad smells. Mints, gum, mouthwash and even toothpaste will cover up bad breath but they do not cure it because they do not get rid of the bacteria that cause it. I learned all this 6 months ago when I learned about OraBrush. Now I clean my tongue every time I brush my teeth. I still use the same OraBrush I got 6 months ago and can have fresh breath up to 12 hours. Get two OraBrushes for you and him. I assure you cleaning both your tongues will change your love life.
