Gargle with water.
Brush your teeth, tongue, roof of your mouth, and gums at least twice a day with toothpaste.
Floss your teeth once each day.
Eat a low-fat diet rich in fruits and vegetables.
Eat less meat.
Do not smoke or use other tobacco products, such as snuff or chewing (spit) tobacco.
Avoid foods and drinks that cause bad breath, such as garlic and alcohol.
Eat at regular intervals. Dieting or missing meals can decrease saliva and cause bad breath.
Chew sugar-free gum, suck on sugar-free mints, or drink water, especially if your mouth is dry. Try using breath sticks, which contain the ingredients found in a mouthwash and dissolve in your mouth.
Remove dentures, removable bridges, partial plates, or orthodontic appliances and clean them once each day or as directed by your dentist. Pieces of food and germs can collect on these appliances and cause bad breath.
Use a mouthwash for temporary relief of bad breath. Swish it around in your mouth for 30 seconds before spitting it out.
Have regular dental checkups.
Make an appointment to see an ear, nose, and throat specialist (otolaryngologist) if you have frequent problems with mouth odor

switch to a vegetarian diet and see if that helps. Usually eating meat makes your breath smell. But, of course there are sprays out there, things to gargle with, gum or mints you can chew, and all kinds of toothpastes (with whiteners and flavors and mints) and maybe you should not only bruth more often but maybe the bad breath comes from not flossing or not cleaning your tongue. There are several flavors of floss and you can even buy a tongue scraper. Now get out there and feel confident that you've solved the problem.

Visit your dentist to see if you have any tooth decay or gum disease that might be causing the problem.
It could also be because of bad diet and not drinking enough water.
Bad breath can also be caused by drinking too much coffee or eating too much protein.

Have you tried mouthwash? you should try and have it for about twice a day, one in the mornin and one before bedtime..
But i've heard before from my professor that bad breaths are caused by bacteria or some problems in your pharynx (throat), so if mouthwashes doesn't work, i think you should have it checked by a dentist or an ENT (ears, nose, throat)....

use mouthwash, toothpaste and toothbrush so that the bacteria in the tooth will be no more because the bacteria is the cause of bad breath.

Brush your teeth tongue and down your throat as far as possible. After brushing rinse your mouth out and then use hydroprocide in your mouth, DO NOT SWALLOW THIS. Spit it out do this every morning. Carry the new strips of mouth wash with you.
