Anxiety Aunt: Help! How do I tell a colleague his breath is bad without causing offence?

Dear Aunty,

I desperately need your help. My new co-worker, who I have to work very closely with, in terms of physical proximity and time spent together, is very lovely but he has the most foul breath I have ever come across in my life. It is so bad that sometimes when he turns to talk to me and I turn to him at the same time, the stench almost makes my eyes water. I cannot go on the way things are, short of wearing some kind of mask to work, so how do I broach the subject delicately and in a way that won’t cause offence?
