Good noon , teeth are not flat surfaces so even after cleaning by brush some amount of food particles get stuck in between them . This food ultimately leads to colony of bacteria and finally leading to halitosis . You need to know the correct brushing technique and need to get your teeth cleaned by a dentist
Next Steps
Approach a dental surgeon
