A member asked:

What do i have to do if i wash my teeth everyday but after 5min it doesn't smell good?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See dentist: Have you seen a dentist recently? When was the last time you had your teeth cleaned? You should brush at least 2 minutes twice a day, floss at least once a day, clean your tongue. You may have decay or periodontal disease that is causing your breath odor. See a dentist asap.
