Bad Breath?

There is this man that i work with in the office. He is 30. When ever i talk to him his breath makes me want to puke! Whenever he smiles though, his teeth are pearly white, but his gums are red and a little swollen.

I think he is aware of his breath too, because he is always popping mints in his mouth. Help me please!

How do you deal with a colleague with halitosis?

The person is in a higher position than mine. The bad breath is almost always there and is "death breath". It’s absolutely stifling. The person doesn’t read body language (I back off, I politely conicidentally put my hand in front of my nose, I’ve offered mints, stand up wind when outside…) I’m afraid to hurt his feelings. It’s obviously seriously chronic. Any ideas?

yes I have seen a doctor and a dentist. No answer for me. Please don’t tell me to chew gum and suck mints because they don’t work.

How do I get rid of really bad breath?

My breath is really bad almost all the time.

I brush my teeth regularly and I also brush my tounge and I floss. I can’t seem to get rid of really bad breath though.

And don’t say chew gum or eat mints, cause that just temporarily masks the breath. I need something that will get rid of bad breath!
Oh yea, I did forget to mention it, but I do use mouthwash!
