Salivary flow decreases during sleep causing drying of the oral cavity. Moreover this problem could be exaggerated in mouth breathers and people suffering from GERD. Suggest you consult a dentist before consulting a general physician.

Mouth smell in your case is because of your gastric problem (GERD), you can repost the same in practo under gastroenterologist and seek an opnion. Intial food restriction of bland diet should help you.

Bad breath can b caused due to various reasons. Due to smoking n using tobacco products, dental prob such as decay teeth, unclean tongue, gum infections, reduced saliva n dry mouth, ill fitting dentues, salivary gland probs. Other diseases n infections which also cause bad breath r sinus infections, respiratory tract infections such as bronchitis n pneumonia, liver n kidney probs, diabetes, acid reflux from stomach etc. Get scalling done by dentist. Use proper brushing techniques. Brush , floss n use mouthwash twice daily. Massage ur gums with ur finger tips after brushing. Keep ur tongue clean. Rinse ur mouth well after each meal. Get ur decay teeth filled. Visit ur dentist for dental checkups every 6 months to detect n prevent dental probs. Inspite of these measures if bad breath persists, consult a general physician for further evaluation.

Hi
Bad breath can occur from various reasons. Deposition of food in between teeth, uncleaned tongue and lack of oral hygiene are a few causes. Gastric problem also gives rise to the same. Please do brush your teeth especially before going to bed. After 10 mins of brushing you can use some common mouthwash or a glass of warm salt water to rinse your mouth. Do not eat or drink anything after that so that it remain applied for a while. Try it for a few days, if problem persists, then kindly consult your nearby dentist for the exact problem. If he/she diagnosed it to be of gastric cause then might refer you to a physician. Take care.
