I have bad breath issue since 10+ years. I have visited Dentist and he told me that I have good oral hygiene. White coating gets formed on my tongue very frequently. Can this cause bad breath?

Hello. You have mentioned in the query, about white coating on the tongue.  It is a cause for bad breath.  White coating could be because of poor oral hygiene or some fungal infections. You will have to get it verified by the dentist, and take appropriate measures.
