A member asked:

How can i get rid of acid reflux related bad breath if ppis don't work, and my diet is perfect ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Bad breath: Most halitosis has a dental problem that causes or contributes to the dilemma. If it has been more than 6 months, see your Dentist. Make sure you are flossing daily, and brushing 2x/day for at least 2 minutes by the clock.
