Bad breath is a signal that what you're eating is going bad in your stomach. Most products will only cover up the symptoms instead of treat the cause.

What's in your diet?

I don't know what the root cause is, but what has helped me is silk floss or extreme mint floss. Crest is the brand i use, if it were me i would mention it to the doctor just in case. Besides what do you have to lose if you do?
hope this helped,

Duh!!!
If you can see you have tonsil stones in your mouth that probably is your problem. Pick them out using a clean cotton swab or maybe your toothbrush. They will probably have a strong odor. The only way to get rid of them for good is to get your tonsils taken out. Good luck!!!
