Anonymously leave a 1 liter bottle of listerine under her desk, out of the site of others, but where she will still stumble upon it eventually.
lol, this is rude. Some people brush, floss, tongue scrape, gargle, chew gum, drink water, etc. and their breath is still bad. I just make sure I maintain a safe distance when talking to people and I never smell anyone's breath (and hopefully they don't smell mine). I can only think of two coworkers who I'm aware have bad breath, but it's not that bad and I just know not to get too close. I'm not going to leave mouthwash under their desk!
It looks as though our workplace management has taken action in this matter. I did not expect this to be such a big deal but she has been reassigned to a different division. I am not clear as to what had conspired to cause this change but it appears management determined she was not a good fit for her public role, reading in between the lines of our email and discussion with other coworkers. She now does more clerical type of work and works more individually.

Very true.....my mom is one of those people, and I remember getting slapped in the face as a child for telling her that her breath smelled bad. (don't remember exactly how or what I said, though)
This is a serious question so I hope I have some good ideas as to how I might be able to address the matter.
Either way, I have noticed some of my coworkers gossip about her and I feel bad her relationship dissolved due to her issues of breath. I respect her greatly and I want her to be successful however, she does have this issue and I don't know whether it is even my place to mention it to her.
My question...should I mention the issue of breath to her (which she thinks is a minor issue) and if so, how can I treat it with sensitivity?
Thanks
Interesting....I once worked for a company and ALWAYS chewed gum or had some candy...One time one of the line leads said to me "Boy you have such a nice smelling breath. Most people's breath smells like (Poopie)"
I had to laugh....
If she thinks it's a minor issue then IT IS,...It's HER choice.....
I would like to know. I suffer from A bad taste in my mouth and I fear that I have it. Ppl engage with me and talk with me but I feel that I have BB so I don't let them to close. I brush my teeth and floss but still can not figure it. I get tonsil stones as well. I have been to many doctor with no results. I wanna make the necessary changes. Did the physic give her any info on how her problems can be fixed? Please send me this information . I am will to travel to see her. I often think of taken my life because this . No one knows how a person With bob feel. I don't go to function , u miss out on parties. I have to do ur job extremely well to keep it, it a strain on relationship. U become depressed and have low self esteem. I new and it was nice of you to try an establish a new friendship but I would want to know instead of gossip behind my back . Please forward me the info as I am at my lowest point.

Since the OP's already extended herself beyond the co-worker relationship, I was going to suggest telling the woman tactfully---before the above starts happening.
Sadly, the ones that engage in gossip with their eyes lit up, love to do the sneaky, er... anonymous "tips"--mouthwash, coupons, magazine articles...
OP, this is a tough call. I honestly don't think you should say anything to your co-worker. After all, even though she has bad breath you're not required to get that close to her ;
I don't really notice bad breath on anyone - other than women I've dated.....for obvious reasons. I've never said anything about it, however - I've just put up with it. Since my relationships never last long (by choice), it's not a big issue.
That being said, as someone who's big on oral hygiene, this type of thing can be a turn off. I've actually gotten to the point that if a woman who spends the night comes to bed without brushing her teeth, I'll mention something like, "Aren't you going to brush your teeth?" - and, it typically doesn't do any good. So, I just give up...

You don't need to see a physic, you need to see a dentist.
