Hello, you need to visit a dentist and get a checkup done. Get your scaling and polishing done. If there is a cavity in between your teeth, get it filled.

Usually bad breath may be because of deposits which are now calcified and which cannot be removed by regular brushing. You need a professional scaling to be done and than start brushing twice and use of mouthwash after your meals.
Thanks.
