Periodontal disease?: Gum disease can contribute to bad breath. Inflammation, easy bleeing and recessed gums are signs of gum disease. If you have any of these you should see a dentist. Also try brushing your tongue and gargling. To reduce odors brushing will not solve the problem of halitosis by itself.

Other causes: This can be a sign of more serious periodontal disease, requiring treatment, or other more serious dental infections. It could also be caused by non-dental sources, like infected sinuses, tonsils, adenoids, etc. A thorough evaluation is suggested.
