Nothing to do: Bad breath is usually from poor dental hygiene, you should brush after each meal, use fluss or to remove food particles between your teeth, gently brush the tongue and the roof of your mouth and use mouth rinse.

Diabetes & Ulcers: It may, diabetics are more susceptible to develop gum disease than the general population. Also, ulcers and other gut problems may cause bad breath. In addition, if you are taking medication to lower your blood pressure, you may be experiencing a slight to moderate xerostomia (dry mouth). Xerostomia increases the amount of bacterial growth causing in turn bad breath. Visit your dentist and md.
