Bad breath is usually down to bacteria helping you to digest food and this process starts in the mouth. Junk food doesn't help but there could be a medical reason so go to your doctor for advice. Make a note for your doctor as to what you have eaten and the times ingested.
I the meantime change your diet as you obviously recognise you are eating too much junk food. Most of this is reconstituted bits from the carcass and stripped off by high pressure hoses before being "processed" into a burger/nugget/sausage or something similar and mixed with different types of fats. Not all such foods are made in this way but there is a lot of cheap rubbish around !!!
You are what you eat!!!

One possibility is that you aren't getting food out from between your teeth. You should try flossing as well as brushing. And there are little brushes you can get that brush in between the teeth. Do all three and see if that helps. If not, you can go online and type in bad breath in Google and it will come up with some medical sites that give you all sorts of info on that subject. Not the blogs necessarily but the medical info sites. There are lots of them.
Good luck. Don't OD on breath mints in the meanwhile!

Okay. Floss your teeth to get those little pieces of food to move elsewhere. Gargle with Listerine. Swallow a lilttle tiny sip of it (about half a teaspoon) to also kill all the bacteria in your lower throat which rinsing and brushing can't reach. Brush your tongue gently, too. Beyond that it might possibly be something else, but these suggestions will make you civilised enough for most company. Should keep you pleasant for about four hours at a time. Your dentist will give you extra help if you are willing to put up with him and ask.

1. Brush (try an electric toothbrush)
2. Floss ( between ALL your teeth, backones too)
3. Scrape your tongue( if it's white i'ts dirty)
4. Use mouthwash (Periomed is good)
5. Go see a Dentist( you might need a deep cleaning or have tooth decay)
6. Go see a doctor( some illnesses like diabetes can cause bad breath)
good luck...

You could have halitosis or a sour stomach. Bad breath is often found in people with periodontal diseases, including gum abscesses and mouth sores. These diseases are usually attributed to less than admirable oral hygiene, dentures, smoking or teeth restoration, such as bridges. A doctor can properly diagnose the issue. Halitosis may be related to a variety of causes, including bacterial infections and medications. Some bacteria in your mouth may produce gaseous compounds that cause bad breath. For some people, bad breath is caused by a dry mouth, which may be a result of medications you are taking or other medical conditions you may have. Bad breath is often found in people with periodontal diseases, including gum abscesses and mouth sores. These diseases are usually attributed to less than admirable oral hygiene, dentures, smoking or teeth restoration, such as bridges.
Brushing, flossing and seeing your dentist regularly may reduce bad breath. Some dental hygienists recommend brushing your tongue, since it traps large amounts of bacteria. Additional protection against the buildup of bacteria in your mouth can be achieved by rinsing with a mouthwash after you finish brushing. Eating lots of junk doesn't help and you probably don't drink enofe water. You should drink more water and eat more fruits and vegies. Your diet has a huge effect on the body. Definitly consult a doctor.

You should really contact a dentist for some professional advice... you could have an underlying infection that needs appropriate treatment. You could try using a mouthwash called : "Corsodyl". It's very strong and shouldn't be used on a regular basis but it certainly helps with mouth diseases such as oral candida (thrush) or even gingivitis (bleeding gums). However, for more serious infections you may need a course of anti-biotics. There could also be a cavity that needs attention. Contact a dentist!

First, do you floss and brush your tongue? Both of those thing, in addition to brushing, can make a world of difference. If you're doing all three of those things religiously (brushing, flossing, and brushing your tongue), then you need to look for other potential causes. Other causes can be periodontal (gum) disease (you would need your dentist to determine if you have this), an abscessed tooth, chronic sinus infection/sinus drainage, and dry mouth (dry mouth can be caused by certain medications or tobacco use). If I were in your shoes (regular brushing and flossing not helping), the first thing I would do would be to contact my dentist. You really need he/she to check you for gum disease or any other oral condition which may be causing your bad breath. If they cannot find any problems, then it is quite likely related to some sinus issues and your doctor can work with you to address those. Good luck!

Germs are found on the tongue. Not only should u brush your teeth, but also your tongue as well. Also floss to remove food particles between your teeth which can rot and give of that bad smell.

Use a mouthwash and drink lots of water too.

this can be due to many sources. in the mouth, tongue or gums, , stomach or lungs.
in the mouth:-
you can brush your tongue.
the most common cause is gums (gingivitis periodontitis)
Clean between the teeth under the gum level and massage the gums with your tooth brush or what ever system you use. If the gums bleed this is a sign of periodontitis.
best answer is to see a dental surgeon with periodontal experience.

Sweet heart, the smell does not always come from your mouth, but from your digestive system and if you are eating junk, you may find that's your trouble not your mouth.
Are you regular? if not this coild be the culprit, a suggestion is to change your diet soon to include some fresh fruit and veg x
