You don't have to tell her. Just come outside eating some mints and then offer her one.

a very sensitive subject!

befor you do anything, don't use the sentence 'you nreath smells like crap' lol!

just say to her, before you say anything.
1) you know I realy care about you as a friend? (here she says 'yeah)
2) if you were wearing something that didn't look good, would you want me to tell you? (she should say 'damn yeah'!)
3)if I looked bad or I needed deaodrant etc, would you tell me?
4) ok, becuase sometimes, your breath is a little strong...and can be a bit smelly..

she may get a little defensive, but re-assure her it is a common problem and maybe she should visit the dentist...

it's a difficult one, but if you assure her that you are a close friend and it's entirely confidential then she should appreciate that.

reiterorate to her that if you were in this position, you would expect her to be honest with you...

good friends are the ones who tell you the truth...and try and help, not hinder. do it somewhere very private too!

also tell her to brush her toung
most of the bacterian in the mouth is on the toung, not teeth
(though theres lots around those too)
once youve told her it doesnt smeell good
tell her to brush her tounge with a toothbrush
...she can do that while she does her other things like brushing/flossing/mouthwash/ect
