Mamaletes in the house Good morning. I am a newly married woman and I have an issue with my husband's mouth. I don't know whether to call it mouth odour or not, but I didn't observe it too much before we got married because we never kissed and we were in a distant relationship. Whenever he stays for an hour or more without talking (which is normal because he is very quiet and reserved), one bad odour emanates from his mouth whenever he eventually talks. Or whenever he wakes up in the morning, the smell is bad that I have to give him my back to cuddle(because he likes cuddling in the mornings).This has made me avoid kissing him most times except when he just finish brushing or when he just finish eating. I sometimes teasingly pursue him to go and brush whenever it is taking long for him to brush, I sometimes wonder if he doesn't perceive it himself. But in church and in public(when he hasn't talked for long)whenever I perceive this odour from his mouth, I always feel pained because I know other people will perceive it too. Mamalettes and doctors in the house, how do I go about helping him?..What is the most subtle way I can approach the issue without making him feel embarrassed? Thanks a lot.
