See a dentist: The bad breath could be due to deposits on your tongue so brush your tongue. Also bad breath could be due to cavities/infection on the teeth. Toothpaste can damper the bad breath but the teeth should be fixed . Gum disease can also cause bad breath. Please see your dentist.

Bacteria.: Oral malodor is usually caused by bacteria on our teeth and under the gum line. It could also be caused by gastric intestinal disorders, liver disease and pre-diabetic odors. There are a number of mouthrinses with essential oil of peppermint and clove will help.

Periodontal disease: Normally bad breath is due to deep pockets that are formed around your teeth by periodontal disease. The treatment for periodontal disease varies from patient to patient . You need to have that checked by a dental porfessional.

Find the cause: There are many causes of bad breath, both of dental and medical origin. Find the cause(s) and treat them and then maintain good oral hygiene. By far the most common cause is poor oral hygiene. See the following website for more information: http://www.Smilesapartcosmeticdentist.Com/fresh-breath-control.Htm.

You can simply just due for cleaning and have high loads of bacteria or dental issues like food impacted proximals between teeth.

Tongue and rinse: Brushing and gently scraping your tongue, as well as using chlorine dioxide mouth rinses often works when bad breath is persistent. You can buy a tongue scraper in your drug store. Oxyfresh is one chlorine dioxide mouthrinse brand i recommend in my office.

Most common cause is bad breath. If you're doing a gr8 job brushing, you're only cleaning 65% of your tooth surfaces. Failure not clean between teeth can cause halitosis. Start w a professional cleaning. Then floss EVERY DAY. Cleaningnyour tongue may help. Avoid onions, garlic cabbage, etc. If your Dentist can't find an oral cavity problem, you may be referred to a gastroenterologist
