Determine cause: Once the cause is determines, then that condition can be treated, teeth, gums, diet, and stomach problems can all contribute. See a local physician and dentist for help. You may need treatment that cannot be found in your home.

Give it up: Go to the Dentist. Bad breath may be from sulfur producing bacteria. May be between teeth, infected tonsils/adenoids, back of tongue. May be from acid reflux, GERD, systemic disease, foods and/or supplements. You need professional help. Please see Dentist.
