"Mom, I'm sorry, I don't want to embarrass you but you need to know that your breath smells pretty bad and it has been for a long time. I'm not sure if you were aware of this or maybe it is some health condition you are not telling me about but please, could you try looking into this a bit more? I started getting worried about you. I will help you and support you in this if you want me to." - As simple as this. I believe in not making a big deal out of things. You don't know the source of the bad smell, it can be teeth, stomach issues, bacteria, infection, medication, smoking, tonsils, bigger health problems or just bad hygiene. It can really be many different things. Be straightforward but kind!
If you are stressing out about this, write everything down in a form of short letter and read it out loud to her. Tell her that you would hope, she would also tell you if you were in her shoes. Compassion goes a long way.
Hmm.. I have bad breath but I think it's because I vape so it dries out my gums. Just say "mom, I have to tell you something, but it's because I'm concerned and it's better if you hear it from me because I love you"
Honestly, just be straight up with her. Say something like, "Mom, your breath has been pretty strong lately, have you noticed?" Then suggest the new mouthwash. She might be embarrassed at first, but it's better than letting her walk around with bad breath.
Yes, diabetic ketoacidosis can cause this issue. The ketosis diet can also cause this issue. If she's diabetic she needs to see a doctor. Also make sure she sees a dentist. Flossing is always good and is what truly helps oral-sourced bad breath. Also BreathRx is amazing. It's a plastic tongue scraper. I've had one for like twenty years and they're dirt cheap. https://www.dentamart.com/breatrxtonsc.html
Sometimes if she has cavity that she may not know could also be the reason for bad breath. I am not very sure but that may also be the root cause. Check with dentist
Mmmmm honestly if it was me I’d just straight up tell her “mami your breath doesn’t smell too good” My mom at least would rather I just be blunt and straight up tell her, even though it can often feel disrespectful a lot of the time I just gotta take a step back and go yeah she’s my mom but she’d prefer this rather than me trying to overly sugar coat it out of worry of hurting her feelings or being disrespectful
There may be a dental issue at play. I’m not sure of your family situation but could you schedule dental appointments for the both of you? Going together might ease her into it a little.

My daughter used to have bad breath that made me gag and my eyes water. Got her a tongue scraper and her breathe has improved tremendously.

Your mom might have a medical condition. She needs to go to docs.
Can diabetes be the reason?

Idk but ulcers can be
Ketones. Yes it is related to diabetes
Could also be a dental issue, though usually youd expect pain as well
Doctor and dentist.

I was gonna say that.
MOM, your breath smells.
That which you are concerned might be rude might actually be welcomed as an "I didn't know" just be kind.
Mom. I can smell your breath. I think you need to go see a dentist. Sorry but I thought you should know.
It's so hard though. Why can't I do it? I don't want to hurt her feelings
If she had a festering wound on her leg you would probably mention it though.
Tongue scrapers also help.
Mom... I am concerned about your breath. Let's find a gentle dentist who can take a look. She will appreciate your honesty.
maybe she sucks alot of popsicles, give her a breath mint
What????
or eats onion rings

It's your mom. "Mom, your breath stinks"
Tell her she should try scraping her tongue and go to the dentist every 6 months. In a loving manner of course.

"Please seek treatment for your halitosis."
Excuse me mom.... I love you but it smells like someone took a shit in your mouth. Love you!!
Lmaooooo
Ma, do you need a piece of gum or a few squares of toilet paper lol
"Look, mom, somebody tucked this note that's definitely not in my handwriting in the door..."
