Hi,
Poor oral hygiene is perhaps the leading cause of bad breath (halitosis). You need to brush, floss and clean your tongue regularly. You need to get a scaling done once in every six months and a general dental examination at least once a year.
In some cases if bad breath persists the dentist will have to look for other causes. Some of the other causes of bad breath are:
1. food:onions,garlic,spicy food
2.tobacco products
3.dry mouth:mouth with less saliva secretion due to a variety of causes
4.medications:
5. other mouth ,nose and throat conditions:e.g infected tonsils,sinuses
6.other causes: gastric reflec et.c
