Please see if you have any deposits in your mouth or your gums bleed during brushing then kindly get scaling done. Also use a mouth wash for 15 days twice daily.

Yes, first of all, I try to explain why breath smell bad. During breathing we inhale and exhale air. This air when exhale, coming from lungs, bronchus(throat),mouth, nose. If there is something wrong in route of breathing, there is chances of bad smells, for examples, disease of lungs( cancer, TB, asthma,lung abscess etc), disease of throat( like diphtheria, pharyngitis, throat infection, common cold etc) disease of nose( polyps, common cold), disease of mouth( poor oral hygiene care, stomatitis, dental cavities). Approximately in 70 % of cases of bad smell - oral disease is common factor. In some cases, cause may be idiopathic, means there is no any significant reason for bad smell. In short,exact reason or diagnosis of bad smell is important to solve this problem. Time being you can use some OTC product like Plax mouthwash, or Listerine mouthwash for less than 15 days. Dont use these mouthwash more than 15 days without your doctor advice, it is antiseptic mouthwash, it kill helpful oral bacteria with harmful bacteria, disturb the balance of oral flora.
