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.

Bad breath: Usually caused by suffer producing bacteria. Can be symptomatic of gum disease, infected tonsils/adenoids, systemic disease, acid reflux, infected teeth, compromised oral hygiene, etc. Toothpaste/mouthwash will only mask odor for a few minutes, not eradicate the cause. See your Dentist for help identifying the cause of your problem and the best treatments.
