What's the polite way to tell someone they should brush their teeth more often?

Says it up there...

Love this question. Maybe you could purchase a teeth-whitening kit for yourself and use it and show it off to the person you want to encourage as something that YOU think is a very valuable asset. You could then let that conversation lead into brushing teeth. You might then have a good angle and excuse to buy that person a tooth whitening kit and toothpaste without seeming like you are insulting them. If they still don't get the hint, then you will have no choice but to tell them that their mouth looks and smells like a *%&!.

Put your hand up close to your mouth and breath in and out in short breathes, while sniffing each time.

Then say "I thought I smelt something. No, it's not me."

or do you know why people have bad breath? It's because when we eat food, the bacteria in our mouth eats as well, and then defecates in our mouth.

The only subtle way I can think of is when you're hanging out, always offering them mints or gum and taking some for yourself and hoping they get the hint. Also, you could say nonchalantly as possible, "I just got this awesome toothpaste/mouthwash and my mouth feels so fresh!" "Do you ever feel like that?"

This is a funny question, in awkward sort of way.

Say this when you see them:

" hey have you've tried this new tooth paste? It taste like cherry! it so awesome its like candy, I think I'm gonna start giving it as candy!" and you give them the damn tooth paste! the'll get the indirect suggestion

Man this is something I need help with too. I did that whole offer a mint /gum, take one for myself tactic and the person said to me "no thank you I don't chew gum, its bad for your teeth"... so what do you say then...cause clearly they're not brushing correctly or has a horrible dental disease?

Want a mint? Make it very clear you're not taking "no" for an answer.

There really isn't any polite way to say it. But if you are being honest, you should gentle put it as "you would look great with nice white teeth" and give them some gum or breath mints.

"Brush your teeth please"

There really isn't a nice way to put it,although you could try the recommending a product thing."This toothpaste is so good you should try it..."

maybe give them an article about how you should brush your teeth 3+ times a day or osmething

I am done tip toeing around people who have bad breath, especially if it is common place. I'm no longer polite about it. I just say "wow, you really need to brush your teeth." I know someone who never does so I've stopped being polite about it.

Give them toothpaste as a birthday gift.
