Hi sir...
Bad smell is due to so many cause
**soft and hard deposits(Plaque and calculus)
**Multiple decayed tooth
**Diabetes mellitus
**Gastric disturbance(Gastric ulcer,GERD)
If the bad smell is due to deposit, you need to undergo scaling and polishing
if it is due to multiple arious tooth, you need to undergo simple filling or Root canal treatment depending on the depth of caries....
If your father has Diabetes mellitus, Gastric disturbance kindly consult with general physician

First check with ur dentist for cleaning and polishing.
Bad smell could be because of various other factors like gastritis, less water intake, ENT problems, sometimes even diabetes.
Considering his age check up with a physician too.
