Halitosis: Can be caused by poor oral hygiene (especially from not flossing daily), GERD, infected tonsils/adenoids, infected teeth, infected gums, fungus, bacteria, viruses, food debris caught in gum pockets, and the foods you eat, just to name a few causes. Please see your Dentist. If oral cause not readily discernible, the Dentist will refer you on to your Physician.

Halitosis: Bad breath can be caused by many different factors, including sinus infections, periodontal problems, smoking, cavities, acid reflux, and your diet. Address all of these possibilities with your dentist and physician, and I'm confident that your problem will at least be minimized, and hopefully eradicated.
