PHILADELPHIA (AP) — How
do you tell your friend, your co-
worker or your spouse that he or she
has bad breath?
Leave it to a trained professional.
A new service by the Center for
Breath Disorders allows people to
send an anonymous — and tactful
— message breaking the news.
The free letter — which can be
sent via e-mail or U.S. mail —
explains that bad breath is a com-
mon problem and that it is not
always the result of poor oral
hygiene. The message then directs
the user to a Web site selling a $40
fresh-breath system created by
Philadelphia dentist Jon L. Richter,
who founded the Center for Breath
Disorders in 1993.
“This is such a taboo subject that
people who have the problem or
people who know other people who
have the problem rarely bring it up,
even with a spouse,” Richter said
Monday.
“We thought it would be great for
people to communicate anonymous-
ly with others that they have a
breath odor problem and that it is
very simple to correct.”
The letter says: “Someone close
to you who cares has requested that
we forward this information to you.
We understand the difficulties a per-
son faces in both their personal and
professional lives due to a breath
odor problem. ... You’re not alone.”
Tracy Gillett of Albuquerque,
N.M., contacted the hot line about a
co-worker.
“It is not like their fly is down
and it is an immediate need or that it
will eventually correct itself. It is an
ongoing problem, one that is gig-
gled about and discussed behind
their back but not ever said to their
face,” Ms. Gillett said.
Some people have thanked the
center for the advice.
“They say, ‘I don’t know who
did it, but I appreciate the tip,”’
Richter said.
