Bad breath issue.
This is Apoorva. I am suffering from bad breath issue. No matter what I do, my mouth stinks a lot, even I have white coated tongue. I brush twice a day and rinse my mouth after every meal. Though doing all these things my mouth never feels fresh. It feels awkward to have this problem. Could you please provide me a solution to get rid of this problem?

Other than deposits or calculus in teeth,
Make sure no acidity problem or long gap between food.
Tongue cleaning with plastic scraper regularly.
Any tooth present with caries or gum infection also may cause bad breath.

Bad breath is caused due to many reasons and unless we diagnose why you’re having this - no amount of rinsing or brushing your teeth will help you. You need to visit a dentist who can do a clinical examination and ascertain the source. The most common reasons for bad breath are tartar and plaque and the solution for that is to get a teeth cleaning ( routine/ deep) done. Tooth decay can also cause halitosis so your dentist will need to look into that and advise treatment for the same.
Health Tips
You need to follow a good oral hygiene regimen to maintain good health. This also includes cleaning your tongue everyday to prevent white tongue which can otherwise contribute to bad breath.
