May not be enough: Toothpaste may not be enough. You need to see a dentist to find out why you have bad breath.

Look elsewhere: Don't expect any brand of toothpaste to correct bad breath. Start by seeing your dentist for a thorough exam and have him\her rule out any dental problems. If none are present and you practice good oral hygiene (tooth brushing, flossing and tongue scraping) you might have to consult with a physician regarding medical causes.

Halitosis,bad breath: is caused by poor dental health, tooth decay or may be a sign of other health problems. Also the type of food you eat or other factors like smoking can effect your breath. Rec.: see a dentist to determine the cause of the problem and proper treatment. Toothpaste is not a solution. Good luck.
