you don't tell your kid..
You talk to the doctor about it without your child knowing.. He'll go to the Doctor's thinking it's a just a checkup, or something necessary,.. A kid won't ask too many questions about it.. When I was a kid, if I was told that I had to get a certain operation or visit a Dr, I thought that's the thing I should do.
So basically I would do everything I could for my child without him having to know that his breath smells like sh*t.. I would try everything and more.. But I don't think I would ever approach him and tell him about his problem unless there was something I could do to help or something new we could try..

i'd be honest with my kid... however it depends on the age.
Most likely I'd prefer to explain the problem... and have a child understand that it is a common situation, but no cure has been found.
Gotta teach your child to be strong... they are already naturally resilient. I would also have them fully checked out, do everything I can.
But if your kid has BB, they may always have it. No sense in hiding it from them where they will find out the hard way... and won't be able to deal. Not to mention I don't want to be the same parent or family member that blatantly lies about it, giving the person a false sense of hope. This is a real situation, and as far as we know it aint going anywhere.

And hope that he/she can deal with this situation better than I can.
