Bad breath: Can be from not removing sulfur producing bacteria, infection of teeth/gums/sinus/throat/tonsils-adenoids, change in diet, change in medication, GERD, etc. Start w professional cleaning and oral hygiene instruction @ your Dentist's office. Dentist may also want you to see your General a Physician for a work-up.
