Ineffective: Mouthwash doesn't eliminate bad breath. Need to find the cause. May be other tonsil problem, gerd, periodontal disease, etc. When you brush teeth, brush tongue. Make sure you floss to remove sulfur producing bacteria from between teeth. Have md?Do check tongue, tonsils, throat. Have dds?Dmd check tongue, teeth, tonsils, gums.

Clõsys Oral Rinse : Clõsys alcohol free oral rinse is the best product to control bad breath. I think cvs carries it.

See your dentist: You may want to schedule an appointment with your dentist and have your teeth cleaned. This is the most common reason for bad breath.
