I've heard numerous people say I have bad breath. I brush my teeth, I use Listerine mouthwash, I use Listerine Pocket Strips and Spray, and people still say I have bad breath!
WHAT'S THE DEAL?

My nose is a little stuffy.

Because you're using listerine, use non-alcohol mouth rinses. The alcohol can make bacteria build up more and stink. I had the same problem and the dentist gave me Fresh X or something like that and no more problems.

I hate to say this
but you need to floss, plaque is between your teeth.
and when you brush your teeth
brush your tongue
because that is where plaque germs can be too,if there is a problem
see your dentist he or she maybe able to help you

By drinking plenty of water and brushing
your teeth regularly, you can prevent bad
breath. I found the home remedies at

It might be from your sinuses. If you have chronic postnasal drip, it can cause really bad breath. See a doctor and be honest about your concerns.

do you brush your tongue? also if you have a stuffy nose, that usually causes bad breath.

here we go ........
go to your dentist and ask him / her to help you with this problem.
some times it is coused from an infection in the tooth or the jaw bone and that can hurt after some time....
brushing your tung can help as well.....

Maybe you have a decayed tooth. You should see your dentist.
