These are signs of poor oral hygiene, but are correctable. The most common cause of malodour is deposits of Calculus On The Teeth which cannot be removed by brushing and cause continuous gum inflammation. You should visit a dentist for a session of teeth cleaning by a procedure called as scaling so that these deposits can be removed and gum health restored back to normal. You should always use your toothbrush to clean your tongue after every time you brush your teeth and avoid using tongue cleaners for this purpose.
Regards.
