my boyfriend and I are long distance so he comes over on weekends but usually he gets somewhat involved in hygienic routines. since we started dating over 2 1/2 years ago I would always say lets have a "brushing teeth party" and basically we've called it that ever since so we will just brush our teeth together. if I shower, he will usually shower after me. if I am flossing ill hand him a piece of floss and he will use it.
its like if you sit a tray of cut up fruits and veggies with a bowl of dip; people will eat it instead of going and finding something unhealthy to eat. do hygienic things around him and get him involved in them, this way its more of a couple thing instead of making it seem like you're turned off by his hygiene or lack there of. if that doesn't get it across to him don't be negative or irritated you can hint at things like saying "i love the smell of crest mint toothpaste its so sexy" or hand him a piece of gum. there are many different approaches you could take to this, which you choose is up to you.

You can't do this without being a bitch. Your best option is to subtly tell him. You can buy him minty gum or when he does brush his teeth compliment his breathe (weird I know, but it'll work).
Tell him that if he doesn't go brush his teeth, that you refuse to kiss him. Tell him that you refuse to go out with him, go over to his house or have him over until he showers, shaves and makes himself presentable for you. If that doesn't do the trick, have the conversation with him that basically says I go to a lot of effort to be clean and well groomed for you so I'd appreciate that in return. If he still doesn't budge on it, then I'd say it's time to move on because it looks like irreconciable differences to me.
Just tell him straight up, if he can't handle the truth that's his fault.

SHOWER MORE!! Always good to do it more than less lol soapy water, lots of suds, just making sure to get in between all those crevices. speaking of- get a penis care product that will help alleviate all of that nasty flaky dry skin that comes with having a penis. Man1 Man Oil is a great one with a money back guarantee.
cant you do better than a guy who doesn't even wash his ass or brush his teeth? your downgrading yourself by even dating him. he should be ashamed and embarrassed to have bad hygiene. I'd dump him honestly, there is no way I could be with a guy who doesn't brush his f***ing teeth.
I would just tell him, buy the tooth brush and mouth wash and be like if you ever want to kiss me again go brush your teeth. That almost always works. Rude kind of but it works.
By staying with him, you're encouraging poor behavior. Leave him!
Buy some clothespins and put one on your nose.
