Is it appropriate if I have to issue an inter-office memo to our employees on topic bordering on halitosis?
Ours is a predominantly male company and most of our employees have dragons’ breath. It is really disgusting when you’re talking to them and then showered with a rotting smell.
I feel that would be quite inappropriate. You are going to either make people mad or they are going to be constantly preoccupied with how their breath smells. This is not a completely controllable thing. Maybe when you talk to them you should sit across at a table/desk… I understand why you would want to do this, but can’t think of a way to appropriately say this. Unless they interact with the public and think it’s a problem, maybe you could address it that way, even give a bulleted list of how to control it.
Hey, on second thought maybe that would go over well – just add humor to it!

Do it as a personal hygiene stand-up, rolling in with proper presentation (clean clothing, combed hair, no food particles in the teeth, deodorant)

They’ll all know who issued the memo and it will only get worse. Wear a mask like your dentist does and tell everyone you have an allergy.
