Hi, please make sure to clean the tongue too everytime when he brushes his teeth. Also brushing teeth and cleaning tongue is mandatory at night, and rinse mouth after every meal.

Hello. You need to rule out any tartar deposits in his teeth, any cavities and any tonsil stones that he may have since these can also cause bad smell. Get a dental and pharyngeal check up done by dentist and ENT respectively.

Despite of brushing , some bacteria can accumulate over the teeth near gums in form of deposits contributing to bad smell. However untidy tounge can also be a culprit for bad smell .so you need to check it up clearly and assist him in proper tounge cleaning. If there are deposits on teeth you will have to get it cleaned at a dental clinic
