Good morning
Thanks for the query
The most common reason for smell from the oral cavity is because of accumulation of plaque n calculus on the tooth surface as well as substances on the tounge surface this occur because of improper tooth brushing.
For the same visit your dentist or preferably a Periodontist(Gum Specialist Dentist)
Go for a scaling and do ask for proper brushing technique.
Other resons for smell from the mouth can be gastric ..for the same better visit your physician
Thank You

If you have calculus, you will need scaling. If you have gastric trouble, that can also be a reason for bad breath
Next Steps
Scaling or a visit to gastroenterologist.

Bad breath has many causes, the most common one being oral hygiene . Get a scaling and polishing done by a Dentist and then maintain by brushing and flossing everyday. Bad breath may also occur due to stomach issues like acidity and even sinusitis etc, so these should be checked as well
