sexytrojan	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. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

the_other_gal	develop a teeth hygiene obsession...the more you become obsessed with your teeth the more she will start to consider her own....maybe she will even try competing with you Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Stuart	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?" Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

nursej	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 Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Elana	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. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

shariwharton	i think im going to be sick Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Terry S	Maybe you can tell her about a new product: a toothbrush and toothpaste! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

shirley_corsini	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. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Jonathan	Just tell her nicely, it's no use beating about the bush on such an unpleasant subject. If she respects you she'll be thankful that you pointed it out. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

kitkool	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. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Ms. Denton Lone Star ™	It's best to not tell her. Just stay a few feet away from her. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

clueless_idiot	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 Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Sanz	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. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

?	there is no easy way to break down the truth, just be honest to her and try to find a solution Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Candidus	I would start telling halitosis jokes and see if she even knew what the word meant. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

goosebumpz7	give her a tic tac n white out Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

magpyre	a friend of mine had the same problem, but eventually all her teeth fell out so she got false ones, but at least they were not green! just tell her straight, "you have bad teeth, you must do something before you lose them all" or something like that, no need to mention the breath, the dentist will do that! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

jaynieleigh22	its hard telling some one close to you a bad thing about them. say somethin like" please dont take this the wrong way or in a funny way but ive notice your teeth have become yellow. ask her if she noticed it aswell. and tell her that there are some good products on the market that will sort it out. buy whiting tooth paste, month wash and dentel floss. use twice daily. tell her that you'll go shopping with her to buy it. and just tell her that you was abit concerned cus you dont want her getting problem with her dentel health. and if she does all that them the bad breath will be no more... good luck. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

know it all	tell her that those green teeth really don't go with that outfit lol Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Scoot	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... Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Danays is so kool oh yea	ummm say no offense before you tell her.... or you can give her a whitening kit and tic-tac, mint, gum, etc Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Natalia	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? Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

fiteprogram	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 Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Ron Mexico	a good punch in the face is always effective Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
