Bad Breath
I am having chronic bad breath. I visited dentist and after all the clean up it did not help. I clean even back of the tongue daily after cleaning white sort of substance build up at the back of the tongue in next 4- 5 hours. By looks of I dont think I have tonsil stones. Should I visit ENT specialist to see if throat is the cause as I have already visited dentist.

I think you are conscious about your problem and so maintaining good oral hygiene after scaling.
Bad breath can be caused by lot of things.
I will recommend you to consult ENT as well as periodontist. I hope you don't have gastric acidity/ upset.

Hello
Just maintain oral hygiene properly and use mouthwash after brushing twice a day.
Rinse mouth with salt water after every meal and use mouth freshener too.
Repeat it and make it a habit.
