Hi,
There are various reasons of bad breath, like impurities in blood, inefficient digestive system, dry mouth (lack of saliva production), gum disease, cavities, plaque and tartar formation around teeth and gums, kind of diet, improper brushing / cleaning of mouth etc. I would advise you to get a thorough physical and dental examination to rule out the cause of bad breath and to solve it permanently.
Regards
Dentist

Hello. You can go for scaling and polishing. That will help you reduce bad breath also get a check up done there is a possibility that you may have a grossly tooth Which may be another reason. This will help, if not there is a possibility of some other systemic reason.

Hi Lybrate user
Bad breath from mouth may be due many reasons, one being gum disease (gingivitis/ periodontitis). Scaling and polishing with proper brushing technique would help. Use of mouthwash also aid in preventing it.
Foul breath can be due to cavities in teeth, bleeding of gums, infected tooth or ulcer or acidity or constipation or taking cold water or cold drinks with food which delay digestion of food leading to gas formation which is either farted or passed thro oral cavity as foul breath. Get it diagnosed and treated accordingly.
