Many reasons: There are many possibility of bad mouth odor, such as cavity, periodontal disease, food, medication, health condition, etc.... Taken care of cavity is just a first step. you can tell your dentist to run an mouth odor test with a test device. It should help you to rule out what cause it and properly treated.
