What would you do if one of your officemate has a bad breath?

Try not to face too close and directly with while talking or try to use a notes to communicate with him.

I m pretty straight forward person if i hv anyone with bad breath and if the person happens to my friend or my close one...i would tell him to take care of it.....with either medication or by chewing gum......

Bad breath is because of bacteria in the mouth that results from either bad hygiene or oral dryness. Ask them if they are taking any medication or not drinking enough water. A nice way to go about it is to tell how either you (or someone you know) had a similar problem and how you got rid of it. Drink plenty of water, use a tongue-scrape, mouth-wash before going to bed, and so on.

Hmmm well yes you could offer gum or a breath mint but what if X's reply is no. At the same time you don't want to offend X. If it gets to bad to were you can't handle it I think you should say something try to be as nice as possible. Hope I could be of some help.

If he was a friend, I would discreetly pull him aside and tell him....Actually...I think I would tell him anyway...especially if I had to talk to him...or give him a mint or something.

Get your self some (new) kind of breath mints and offer one to him by saying something like this: Boy, I just had garlic for lunch and I better take one of these mints, they are new, you ought to try one, I love the taste, they are so cool! It might work! Good Luck!!!!!!!
