Oral Hygiene: Brush, scrape tongue, use good oral rinse, stop smoking, alleviate mouth breathing, use a humidifier, drink lots of water, and at last, see dentist or oral surgeon if not resolved and make sure your gums and teeth are in good repair. You may need a sleep study if you snore or gasp. Do you have a sinus infection? Is your mouth excessively dry? Tough problem.

Find cause: Problems with bad breath (halitosis) can be related to oral hygiene (i.e., caries, periodontal disease, insufficient saliva) or due to medical problems like sinusitis, gastric reflux, diabetes etc. Smoking is a major cause. Find out cause & correct it. Recommend starting with a dental evaluation. If that doesn’t turn up the cause – then recommend evaluation by your Dr.
