There may be some deposit in gums or any food lodgement can cause bad breath. Visit a periodontist and consult about your problem. Ask for proper mouth checkup.

Bad breath may be due to a multitude of problems. But in majority of patients it is due to decayed teeth and food lodgement. Scaling and fillings might solve ur problem. Plz have a check up

Bad breath has many reasons commanly gum swelling due to plaque and tartar, another reason throath infections and bacteria on tongue and throat , ketone breath in fasting, liver infections and stomach problems . We need to address comman reasons like tooth and gum hygiene through dental cleaning. Proper cleaning of tongue and throat daily. Also keep our digestion good and avoid constipation. Liver infections need proper specialist check up.

Hi
When was the last professional cleaning done for you!!??
It's not just bad habits and brushing twice in a day which will keep bad odour at bay.
It is advised to get a professional cleaning done once in 6-8 month which will clear the calculus from your teeth.
Apart from calculus even a cavity in your mouth can give bad odour. A professional check up will give you the final picture
