Bad breath: Could be from gingivitis or a special type of throat. See local ENT and see what he or she thinks. Can get special type of probiotics to replenish mouth flora.

Bad Breath: There are both dental and medical reasons for bad breath. See the following website for some basic information. Start by having her dentist evaluate her as improper brushing and flossing!, cavities, or deep pockets may be to blame.Does she use a tongue scraper? She may need to be referred to her physician as well. See: http://smilesapartcosmeticdentist.Com/fresh-breath-control.Htm.
