Ketosis is internal, the bad breath you get has nothing to do with the bacteria in your mouth. No amount of oral hygiene is going to help.
The best thing you can do is drink plenty of water (8 glasses to start. Increase to 9 if it doesn't seem to help. Try to stick with no more than 10).
Also, you can try breath sprays and very strong mints (think Altoids). They go further, into your throat, which helps.

Bad breath can be caused by the diet change, not drinking enough water, and bacteria, or all of the above.
Chewing on parsley is a good way to take away bad breath after eating because it contains chlorophyll. Make sure you drink adequate amounts of water and check your teeth for parsley residuals..lol! Or chew gum that contains chloropyhll,whenever you feel your breath doesn't smell up to par. Good luck on your diet and have fun with it, don't let it be a burden but a life time to good health!

Your breath is bad b/c you are in ketosis. It's your body's way of using the fat you have stored. I usually try to chew a sugar free gum as much as possible. I also try to avoid close face to face talks. good luck

Duh! Of course it is. Your digestive system is not designed to handle a high protein diet. Bad breath, BO, possibly gout, kidney stones, and even kidney failure can be expected if you stick with it long enough.
Go back to a balanced diet.
