How do I address this issue to my good friend.  My friend oral hygiene is less to be desired.  In fact it seems she dose not have any oral hygiene in place.   I normally let this go since I feel it is not my place to tell her how to take care of herself.

The thing is her breath is really bad.  I give her mints off handedly so that she does not think much of it. But other friends of ours have been making fun of her behind her back.  I do not join in but can not really stand up for her either since  they are right about her.

Answer: It is really up to you if you feel like you should address this issue with your friend.  If you do there is no real easy way to go about it.  Just be truthful without being mean.  Your friend may get upset at first but it better the having peopld laugh behind her back.
