Hi, just using a different toothpaste will not eliminate bad breath. Oral malodor(bad breath) has intra oral and extra oral causes. Identifying the cause of the problem is important to find the solution. Intra oral causes include poor oral hygiene, decayed teeth, gum infections, coated tongue, ulcers in the mouth etc. A visit to the dentist will help your problem being identified and treated. Extra oral causes include alcoholic breath, uncontrolled diabetes, lung infections, throat infections, kidney problems etc. I will suggest you to visit a dentist first to get the cause identified. Thank you.

Hello Brush your teeth twice a day and use mouth wash. Visit to your dentist for professional teeth cleaning once in 6 months as deep cleaning is not possible by tooth brush. Wash your mouth nicely after every meal.
