Answer: See the dentist regularly twice a year for regular check up, most of the times early plaque or caries can cause bad breath. Then watch for foods that can cause bad breath like onions, garlic etc. To avoid public embarrassment keep mint gum or lozenges handy.

Several issues: This may be from reflux esophagitis, post nasal drip, gingivitis, or conceivably an esophageal diverticulum. A good place to start would be with your dentist. If there is no focus in the oral cavity, an ENT doctor would be my next step. This can be worked out successfully. Do not give up. Good luck and feel better.
