Hello, bad smell could be because of deposits on teeth surface or food lodged in between teeth. Visit a dentist and get your scaling and polishing done. Brush your teeth twice daily, night brushing is very important. Floss regularly. Rinse after every meal. Visit dentist every 6 months.

Bad breath can be reduced or prevented if you:
- practice good oral hygiene.
- Brush twice a day with fluoride toothpaste to remove food debris and plaque.
- Don't forget to brush the tongue, too.
- Replace your toothbrush every 2 to 3 months or after an illness.
- Use floss or an interdental cleaner to remove food particles and plaque between teeth once a day.
- See your dentist regularly -- at least twice a year. He or she will conduct an oral exam and professional teeth cleaning and will be able to detect and treat periodontal disease, dry mouth, or other problems that may be the cause of bad mouth odor.
- Drink lots of water. This will keep your mouth moist.
- Chewing gum (preferably sugarless) stimulates the production of saliva, which helps wash away food particles and bacteria.

Bad breath can be because of plaque and calculus on teeth which can be cleaned professionally by scaling root planing. Also check for cavities in teeth which causes food lodgement and breeding ground for oral microbes. Also start using dental floss to remove plaque from in between teeth where normal toothbrush cant reach. Start using tongue cleaner to remove debris from tongue another breeding ground for oral microbes. Also consult physician to rule extraoral cause for bad breath like gastric problem acidity sinusitis etc which also causes bad breath despite of meticulous oral hygiene maintainence.
Next Steps
