Bad breath, also known as halitosis can be due to various reasons. But, its due to poor oral hygiene I would recommend you to get scaling done every 6 months, brush twice daily and floss once everyday and use a tomgue scraper to clean your tongue. Sometimes bacteria and food gets deposited on the tongue and can cause bad breath as well so cleaning your tongue is equally necessary.

"Bad breath, or halitosis, can be due to  various factors such as poor oral hygiene, gum disease, dry mouth, smoking, certain medical conditions, or consumption of strong-smelling foods. To manage this issue, it's essential to maintain good oral hygiene practices, including regular brushing, flossing, and rinsing. Additionally, scheduling regular dental check-ups, staying well-hydrated, and avoiding tobacco products can be beneficial. If the problem persists, I recommend consulting your dentist or healthcare provider to identify and address any underlying conditions."

Hello I suggest you visit a Periodontist or gum specialist to rule out the causes for your bad breath. There are many causes for bad breath like gum disease, tooth decay, food lodgement, poor oral hygiene, tongue coatings, dry mouth and oral infections and non dental causes might be ENT infection, lung infections, diabetes, kidney failure,liver failure, smoking, alcohol and diet lifestyles. It is rarely caused by GERD. So first find out what is the cause then you can take the treatment accordingly.
