Hi,
There are many causes to bad breath..
It could be due to local factors present in mouth like (cavities, plaque and calculus, tongue coatings, bleeding gums etc. So, apart from brushing and flossing I would suggest you to use a tongue cleaner everyday. Also, please get the scaling (cleaning) done once in every six months. Incase you have any small cavities, then get it restored by a dentist.
Other causes to bad breath could be systemic like diabetic mellitus, throat infection etc. Hence its advisable to do a full body check up as well.

Bad breath also known as Halitosis can be very embarrassing. It is basically due to poor oral hygiene but can also be due to other reasons like:
- underlying systemic problem ( any other medical problem)
- due to stomach upset or digestive problems
- due to long fasting hours
- sometimes even chronic diabetes lead to bad breath. Etc...
So, continue your oral hygiene habits but get your full body medical check up also done.
