More info needed...: How old is your daughter? How long has this been occurring? Brushing her teeth will not resolve this issue. Please discuss with her pediatrician.

Bad taste: Brushing cleans 2/3 of tooth. Need to clean tongue? Need to floss daily as well. May be from bacteria/food debris between teeth, infected tonsils/adenoids, sinus infection, infected throat, cavities, a fungal infection (Thrush), being put to bed with a bottle, and lots of other reasons. Take her to see a children's dental specialist, a Pedodontist. she should be seeing one no later than 1st b'day.
