It Depends: How long has it been since your last dental exam? Do you floss? Many things can cause bad breath including mouth breathing at night, smoking, build up on teeth, an abscess, improper cleaning methods, excessive use of alcohol or alcohol mouthrinses, or even your diet or some systemic disease. You need to have a complete exam by your dentist and tell them that you have problems with your breath.
