hi there, i am a dentist. bad breath had many caused, some local that r restricted to the mouth. she may need a dental cleaning, after which she has to follow good oral hygine maintenance. if she is suffering from sinusitis, it can also cause bad breath. so can problems in lung and stomach. so first rule out dental problem. mint chewing gums can help temporarily. as for your personal life dont leave her. her bad breath an be treated

Let her know her condition - she should not be offended. You are helping her be aware of her bad breathe problem. Then get her a good mouth wash and do dental check up. She may have dental problems leading to bad breathe.

Pay for her to go to a Dentist. He will clean her teeth and tell her how to maintain her mouth to help with the bad breath. You may also want to get her mouth wash made for people with dry mouths.

You should talk to your GF if she has bad breath. Open discussion will avoid misunderstanding

I would stick to 69, assuming there's not a problem on that end too.

help her if you love her... she may need to brush/scrape her tongue, floss regularly, drink more water...if she loves and trusts you, she'll understand that you just want the best for her and arent judging her, trying to change her or is making fun of her... she may be hurt at first, but she will learn to appreciate you looking out for her...

Gosh... you have such a heavy question, huh? Okey, do you really love her? If you do, help her to have a healthier life by helping her get rid of her bad breath. Overcome your fears of thinking that you might hurt her by telling her the truth. Think of it as one best way for her to have a better life. It will be so unselfish if you will just leave her because of her bad breath. Be there for her as she has been there for you. Help her... tell her.. be honest... be frank... it's the only way you can do for her! Go and do it now!

Get her some gum or anything that you can. Mint leaves, or parsley!
