yes, but you can help it by brushing your tongue as well. then, throughout the day, just pop in a piece of gum or a mint and you will stay fresh until your next brush.

Your stinky breath could be from many things - even if you brush your teeth daily. To reduce it, try Listerine or Scope mouthwash to kill the germs. You may have some type of infection in your mouth that is causing it to smell - like something stuck in your gums, or some type of oozing that comes from your gums. Also try scraping your tounge with a spoon - that gets all the bacteria off your tongue (white gooey stuff on top of your tongue)
The smell also may come from a post-nasal drip - where the mucus from your nose goes down your throat while you sleep - you can talk to your doctor about getting on an antihistamine to stop that.

It can, it all depends. First of all, what you eat will definitely affect your breath. Secondly, you should be brushing your teeth at least twice daily, but preferably after every meal. You should also gently brush your tongue, to remove excess bacteria. If you continue to have bad breath, you may have a bacterial infection that needs treatment. Also, smoking, alcohol use, acid reflux, tooth decay, and fungal infection can cause foul breath - you should see your dentist and doctor to rule out medical problems.

Sometimes when i'm 'heaty', it stinks. After a meal with lots of garlic, my breath stinks too. They said that brushing only removes mostly surface stuff on teeth. Flossing is vital to remove the things stuck in between teeth. =D

I could stink if you don't floss or use a brush to get between the teeth. If you don't like to floss, rinse your mouth after brushing
with Listerine or Scope. However it also depends on what you eat. Keep gum or tic tacs handy just in case

Im not a dr, but you could have a sinus infection, or even stomach problems that cause excess bacteria in your mouth and causes your breath to stink. If its bad. Go see your Dr and get it evaluated.

Your body's ph is low. Get a multi-source green powder supplement. (1 tablespoon in AM and early afternoon)
you'll also assist your health and energy.

It is possible, but if this is the case, you could have periodontal disease. You should call your dentist, and they may prescribe a medicated mouthwash.
