I think you've just gotta be straight with him. Sit him down, tell him how you feel, be honest and quick. If you feel it's affecting your relationship at this point, you should be honest about that too. He needs to take care of himself, not just for you but because it's his health and it's a bad sign that he isn't dealing with it.
And it seems like all is dying, and would leave the world to mourn

While I agree I just want to point out that bad breath isn't indicative of someone having lack of hygiene. Many people (including myself) have tonsil stones (Tonsillolith) and they can cause some major stink till they are removed, in my case they don't get very large and I can't dig them out so I am forced to wait till they develop and then hack them out by clearing my throat constantly till they cut loose. Even gargling after every meal doesn't do much to slow the formation of them.
That being said if he has busted up teeth and overall bad oral hygiene I doubt it is this, you may also want to discuss some of the health ramifications of allowing your oral hygiene to lapse.

Yeah, there are definitely legit conditions that can cause it, and respect to those who do the best they can with it. That doesn't so much sound like the case here though. Maybe he had something like that and gave up?
