How do I kindly tell someone they need to commit more to brushing their teeth?

This might be a hot take but you don’t tell them. A lot of people who don’t brush their teeth struggle with depression and other mental health issues. It can be a STRUGGLE to brush your teeth when you feel like you can’t even leave your bed. They most likely know it’s disgusting but they still can’t bring themselves to brush their teeth. Mentioning it to them might only make them feel ashamed and insecure. Speaking from experience

That was my first thought too. I asked if they were mentally okay or staring to feel down or anything. They reassured me no. So now I’m kind of lost. Because it is affecting our relationship
