Hard to say: Could be gingivitis, periodontitis, diet, cavities, and acid reflux, all which have nothing to do with straight, white teeth. She should be examined by both a dentist and a physician to rule out any of the above problems.

Many Possibilities: If cause of odor is from your oral cavity brushing the tongue and proper flossing may help. You may also have sinus problems, diabetes, "dry mouth"(xerostomia), or digestive issues. All of these can cause odor issues. A dental exam first with a medical follow-up would be advised if not resolved. The treatment recommended will be based on the cause of your bad breath.
