There is no permanant remedy, but there could be many causes as you have already heard. I had deep pockets in my gums and was on antibiotics last year because of a gum infection, then got a terrible yeast infection, more meds. Got another gum infection a few months ago, so I searched for an herbal treatment and found this: http://www.oramd.com?kbid=2141. I have used it daily for a little over two months now, my infection cleared up, my pockets have shrunk and my breath is pretty normal Just reading the website for the information only is very interesting. A few people have already mentioned in their answers that toothpaste/or mouthwash are not the answer. At least read the information on that web page. I am so happy that I did and I will continue to use this product cuz it is working to close up my pockets and my breath is better!

Good brushing, and flossing. Use a mouthwash too. If you still have a bad breath, it could be some other underlying medical problem. Go for a check up.

I could be halitosis (spelling) listerine will only make the disease worse. My art teacher had that and she reaked the room up after on discussion. Ummm I would say go to a dentist if you cant afford a dentist change your diet and keep on brushing. But dont use the listerine or other mouthwashes becuase they will only make it worse. If you are using a gel toothpaste... switch to a paste becuase the gel actually will stay on your teeth and can rot in your mouth unbelieveable but its true. Thats what my dentist told me. And I'm paying her big bucks that I dont have so I'm going to believer her.

brush your teeth do a dental check up for cavitis, gingivitus, possible cleaning. Get a medical check up. Some diseases give odours on the breath. Liver problems, diabetes are just a couple of them.It might also be something you eat but think nothing of.

Regular checkups, flossing daily, brushing properly for 2 minutes 3x a day, and mouthwash. Dietary changes can also help. It all depends what the actual cause is. Speak to your dentist to discuss options.

Well, if you have alot of stress in your life, that might be the cause, because it creates certain kinds of acids in your stomach that make ur breath reek. You need to chill on the stressing, no matter how hard it is.
plus, drink tons of water, and brush your tongue with your toothbrush

floss! If you floss and brush your teeth regularly then it means it is time to get your teeth cleaned by a dentist. For the time being brush your teeth before breakfast and you can buy those breath assure gel tabs.
