Change routine: Get your teeth professionally cleaned by your Dentist to create a base line. Make sure to floss or Water Pik daily. Brush at lease 2x/day 2 FULL minutes by the clock. Brush last thing before bed. Brush upon awakening (before eating/drinking) to remove bacteria. Also gently brush top of tongue. If eggy taste persists have your physician check for GERD, medication side effects, diet, etc.
