Bad breath & Stains
I had stains on my teeth and have recently undergone tooth scaling.I am brushing regularly twice a day and also using Listerine mouthwash. However I do face bad breath issue during the day. It stays normal for only few hours after brushing/mouthwash. I have also used tooth mousse which I found very effective. I do have sticky saliva and also have gastric troubles for last few days. Is there any tooth paste which can do job of tooth mousse ? Any other suggestions for enamel strengthening and curing bad breath symptoms ?
I have not tried CHG mouthwash.

Hello sir...
your history seems that bad breathe is due to Gastric issues.... stains may be due to flurosis teeth or due to enamel hypoplasia, tea and coffe stains, tobacco stains... clinical exmination is necessary to rule out the cause of your stains...
Bad breathe may also be if you have cavitated teeth..
Next Steps
kindly visit dentist to check for any cavities .... kindly visit gastroenterologist to treat your gsatric problems
