There is no specific medical test for detecting the cause of bad breath. The dentist and medical practitioners have to work together to establish the exact cause. If you feel that your bad breath problem does not go away even after following strict oral hygiene routine, you should consult a medical practitioner for the same. The reasons for bad breath can be gum disease, decayed teeth in the mouth, tartar deposits on teeth, dry mouth (reduced salivation), consuming excessive onion and garlic rich foods or some underlying medical condition or routine use for certain medications. Certain nose and throat conditions and sinus problems, digestive problems like frequent acidity also lead to bad breath. You have to brush twice daily, rinse your mouth after every meal and floss your teeth after every meal. Get a scaling/professional cleaning done at least twice a year and pay regular visits to your dentist to keep dental and gum problems under check. Chew sugarfree gums like orbit, saunf (fennel) after meals, they are natural breath fresheners and promote saliva production. Drink plenty of water to flush out bacteria and toxins from your body.

Assuming general physical health is normal and no any tobacco related habit, you can get professional scaling and polishing done, let him learn proper brushing technique so that daily accumulation of food stuffs can be removed effectively on daily basis. Use of tongue cleaner daily is also very important to avoid bad breath all day long. For the time being let him use CLOSE UP FIRE FREEZE toothpaste twice daily. Daily twice use of Listerine moth wash will definitely improve bad breath problem. Happy smiling. THANK YOU.
