Ok, I'm sure there are already topics on how to tell a friend/SO that they have bad breath. But what about bad teeth?

I have a friend, who I used to be romantically involved with, who has a problem with tooth decay (or what I assume is tooth decay). She originally had a slight brown line along her gum lining/tooth, which I assume is some sort of cavity. Obviously at that point it was pretty severe if you can see it with the naked eye. It's now about a year later and I noticed that her teeth have gotten worse and one of them is almost 50% brown(black?).

I tried mentioning that she should see a dentist because it's good to have your teeth checked, and that you can't always see a problem but a dentist can. She said her teeth were fine and was kind of hurt that I implied she had a problem...

Any soft way around this? Letting it fester will only make it worse (and a whole lot more costly)
