First, the cause?: First, you have to determine the cause. There are both dental and medical causes of bad breath, although the most likely one is poor oral hygiene. Brush, floss and use a tongue scraper routinely and see your dentist for a good cleaning, dental check-up and demonstration of how to keep your mouth clean.

Med causes: Dr sandler provided an excellent response. Problems with bad breath (hallatosis) can be related to oral hygiene (i.e., caries, periodontal disease, insufficient saliva) or due to general medical problems such as sinusitis, gastric reflux, diabetes etc. . Recommend starting with a dental evaluation. If that doesn’t turn up the cause – then recommend evaluation by your physician. Take care.
