Determine Cause: Brushing alone may not be the answer. Cavities, periodontal problems, acid reflux, diet, and sinus infections can all contribute to halitosis. Please call your dentist for an examination and take it from there.

Concur: I concur with dr. Davanzis' answer. Also add infected tonsils and adenoids to the list. As he said, your dentist is the proper starting place to resolve this issue.
