Probably: Bad smells in the mouth can indicate infection of tooth structures or even gingival tissues and surrounding bone around the teeth. I suggest you see a dentist for radiographic and a clinical exam to diagnose where the bad smell is coming from.

Almost certainly: Brushing your teeth doesn't do anything for cavities or periodontal disease, two common oral problems that can be giving you halitosis. See a dentist for a consult.
