Determine Cause: You don't know where your bad breath is coming from. Periodontal disease, acid reflux, your diet, and cavities can all contribute. Brushing all day long will not address any of these issues. Start with a checkup at your dentist, and after your mouth has been restored and cleaned, see a gastroenerologist if the halitosis persists.

A simple solution: Bad breath even after brushing needs a powerful help. You can brush and floss and still have a bad breath. The proper diagnosis is the key to a successful treatment. See your dentist for Halimeter test, diagnosis and bad breath treatment that depends on its cause. Good luck.
