Other Answers:
That sounds really bad... she must have a clue about it or a fear of dentists. Get the name and number of a good dentist and give it to her... say you just went to this dentist that is very good and you felt more people should know about that dentist and hopefully she will take a hint.

i think im going to be sick

well, if you two are TRULY friends, then you must tell her, and she must understand.

When she smiles puke. Then everytime she smiles from then on...puke. Eventually she will get the message.

Poilitely slide hr some listerine strips.

Straight out or buy her a tooth brush with a tongue cleaner.
Drop big hints otherwise

tell her that she has a swamp stuck in her teeth

I would start telling halitosis jokes and see if she even knew what the word meant.

if your her friend then it's your place to tell her, i bet you would hope she would tell you, better coming from a friend than someone being nasty

Get someone else to tell her

Maybe you can tell her about a new product: a toothbrush and toothpaste!

there is no easy way to break down the truth, just be honest to her and try to find a solution

A good friend will be nice about it and say nothing, but a great friend is honest even if it would hurt her feelings. She'll thank you for it later if you just tell her what the problem is, even if it'll hurt her feelings right now. You should tell her, and be nice, but keep in mind that if you don't tell her, who will?

buy a pack of teeth- whitening mint gum like 'trident' and ask if s/he wants one. make sure its their fave flavor and then tell them they can have the pack. maybe they'll get hooked on it.

There is no nice way of doing it - but don't have to be
hideously impolite way of doing it either.

You can simply ask if her teeth hurt - because you've noticed
a slight smell that may mean she needs to go to the dentist.

No, its not going to be painless - but it is in this persons
best interest to at least understand the hygene issues going on.

give her a gift with toothpaste toothbush floss and tic tacs!:D

Buy her a toothbrush and toothpaste and just put them in her bag without her knowning it was you. But if she asks if it is a problem you have to be able to say yes.

just tell her " Hey your teeth are glowing is that a new tooth paste your using?"

give her a tic tac n white out

Pull her off to the side. "Friend, you know I love you and always want the very best for you. Take better care of your mouth. Brush often, so I don't ever have to have this conversation with you again. Besides, you have such a pretty smile, it'll just make it that much better. Hey. I'm a clean freak...what can I say?"

It's best to not tell her. Just stay a few feet away from her.

tell her that those green teeth really don't go with that outfit lol

It sounds like she is on drugs (the green teeth). That's touchy, no matter how you choose to address it. Leave her alone, but be her friend. She'll come to you when she's ready.

Put a mirror in front of her and tell her she has some "things" on her teeth. LOL J/K but seriously, if this is a friend of yours, then tell her. She should appreciate having a friend in her life who feels close enough to her to tell her to the truth. Whenever me and my friends see someone in a ridiculous outfit, with an awful hairdo, or a bad make-up job, we always look at eachother and say something like.."that poor thing aint got no friends". LOL

someone has to tell her, and that seems like you, take one for the team, be gentle and inform her of good practices and what products she should use to get them looking good again..

tell her that you want to try the whitening strips and ask her if she will do it with you. Then every chance you get ask her if she wants a piece of gum or mint. eventually she'll prolly get used to the feeling of a clean mouth and will want to keep it that way...i hope cause thats just nasty

She may get hurt, but you still need to tell her. Your friend should know how other people see her. Better she hear it from someone who cares about her than getting cruel remarks from strangers. Just be nice about it. If she gets angry at first, she will probably have time to think about it and get over her anger. More likely, she will thank you for telling her and ask you for advice.

Oh my gosh! I have the same problem! It's horrible, she has....well I wont go into detail...Let's just say sometimes I can't stand to look at her or be near her when she's talking. I've never found a way to tell her, sometimes I'll hint....but not obviously. Maybe if we're at her house getting ready to go out I'll say something like, "Well you ready? Need to comb your hair or brush your teeth or anything?" Sounds mean, but she never catches on anyway. I don't know what to do otherwise though. Deal with it is what I always end up doing...

try not to hurt her feelings but try to convince your friend to go to the dentist try to be polite

try to just tell her, even if she gets hurt and mad at you try to explain that it's better this way than some guy on a date with her...? or just start using tic-tacks and listerene strips yourself until she gets addicted to them... if you're a teen just go into one of those "guy" disscussions and be like "what's your ideal kiss?" something stupid like that but make it so that it doesn't seem too werid from your normal convos. then be like "i'd use first like half a bottle of mouthwash..." ok i know that sounds stupid but maybe little hints might help?
