--Make sure you floss regularly. I do it after EVERY meal and snack.





--Review your diet overall to see what offending foods may top the list of causing bad breath.





--If you have the guts, ask a relative or friend if your breath smells bad to them and how bad? Sometimes, what WE smell is not what others smell, and may be worse--or better--than what we actually think.





--Nicole also has a point--a good teeth cleaning will help. Also ask the dental hygeinist to show you the proper way to floss--which will help scrape bacteria off the teeth and from under the gums. Most people just floss trying to remove food from between the teeth, which is only a part of the flossing process.





--Brush your tongue regularly, not just your teeth.





--There are tongue scrapers that you can buy in drugstores.





--Are all your cavities filled? No broken teeth?





--There are antibacterial or specialty mouthwashes, like Biotene, which also makes a gum. Check out eBay or Amazon.





--If all else fails, a trip to the dentist is in order. Or call the office and ask if they can refer you to a dentist who specializes in bad breath difficulties.

Bad breath that often returns even after brushing your teeth comes from several causes.


Primarily, your breath smells like what you eat, not so much recently, but what you have in your stomach. If you eat very pungent foods, this may add to the problem.


In addition, the scent of your breath actually comes from your tongue more than your teeth/gums because odorous bacteria accumulate on your tongue causing the bad breath. I suggest scrubbing your tongue as well when you brush your teeth.


Lastly, try to breathe through your mouth more often, rather than only through your nose. When you breathe through your mouth, you allow for some ventilation in your digestive system which may relieve the bad smell as well.





That should remedy bad breath for the most part, and of course chewing some minty gum/ eating some mints (I personally suggest Icebreakers or Altoids) couldn't hurt. But really, bad breaths not too huge an issue. Just work those things into a routine and you should be okay, but don't let it bother you too much.


I hope this was helpful =]
What causes bad breath?


Bad Breath affects everyone at some time or another. It can be a social problem, unpleasant for others and embarrassing for the person that has it.In 9 out of 10 cases the problem originates in the mouth and not the stomach, as many people believe. Even in the cleanest mouth there are both good and bad bacteria. These bacteria live off food debris and dead skin cells. If these bacteria multiply as a result of feeding off food debris and skin cells, they break-down, creating odour-causing compounds called Volatile Sulphur Compounds (VSC) plus other noxious smelling gases. The VSC are the most important of these gases and it is these sulphurous-smelling gases (VSC) that we know of as bad breath or 'halitosis'.





Bad breath can also indicate tooth decay or gum disease, such as gingivitis or periodontitis so it is recommended that you discuss any issues with your dentist as soon as you can.
Are you using a good brand of toothpaste?


Are you flossing?


Are you using a mouthwash?


When you brush, are you brushing your tongue, gums, the roof of your mouth, your teeth, and the insides of your cheeks?


Do you pop mints during the day, or do you chew gum?

If you do all of those things, then you probably have a bigger problem other than just bad breath, and I suggest that you go see your dentist.
Make sure you brush your tongue, inside of your cheeks, and roof of your mouth. Maybe you should change toothpaste brands - I use Colgate, and it works great for me. Brush two or three times a day, and make it a point to brush after meals. Chew sugar free, mint gum.





If you do all that and your breath still smells, you could have a gum disease or somesuch. Make an appointment with your dentist and bring your breath problem up to get his or her professional opinion.
No offense to Clarice, but a dentist is a doctor, a doctor that specializes in the structures of the head, neck and oral cavity. You know, like a gynecologist is a doctor that specializes in lady parts or a dermatologist specializes in skin. But enough ranting...





Your condition could be something very simple or very complex. A persistent, strong odor could be indicative of something more than just a hygienic problem,like NUG (necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis).





If your oral hygiene is top notch, then I would suggest that you ask your dentist about the problem. There are a number of different scenarios depending on your diagnosis, so it's really impossible to answer in this forum.
The tongue, The tongue, The tongue is the answer. Clean the tongue with a great tongue cleaner along with brushing and flossing. Mints, gum and mouthwash just cover up bad breath for a short time.

It's possible you could have an underlying medical problem not associated with your teeth. Go to a doctor.
Maybe you need to get your teeth cleaned. I notice that when my husband and I get ours cleaned our breath stays very fresh for a long time.
Floss regularly. And, brush your tongue.
