Get a complete scaling done by your dentist and start with warm saline rinses and gargles. This will definately solve your problem.

There are various causes for mouth malodor . It can be from the mouth or from the nose , throat and then further down from the food pipe and the rest of the digestive system . If it is from mouth (oral cause) it is easy to treat . You can visit a dentist for a routine dental examination to find out if bad odor is originating from mouth . Dentist will check for presence of food lodgment between your teeth, impacted /partially erupted wisdom teeth, decayed teeth , gum infection called gingivitis/periodontitis , even dry mouth as all these are common causes for bad breath . But if it is not from mouth one may have other extra oral causes such as constipation, acid reflux disease or sinusitis , respiratory infections , even prolonged starving etc . So get a dental check up to see if is of dental origin. If your bad breath doesn't reduce after the dental treatment consult a physician.

Consult dentist , get scaling and polishing at least once in a year . Follow oral hygiene instructions given by the dentist .
