We use listerine toothpaste and mouthwash every day. The dentist told him he has gingivitis, but what do we do now?

Man, if he has gingivitis, he needs to start flossing regularly or he'll end up with gum disease and lose his teeth, which is even more serious than a simple case of bad breath. As far as the bad breath goes, I'd suggest that when he brushes, that he makes sure that he spends a little time actually brushing his tongue. No, I'm not kidding. Try it and see if this gets rid of the breath problem.

Antibiotics cure gingivitis. He should have perscribed some. Keep flossing daily & rinse w/ listerine, even though the gums will bleed & the mouthwash will burn. Also, while brushing also brush the tongue. It removes bacterias.

He needs to be treated to get rid of the gingivitis. He should go to his dentist.

Sounds like early periodontal disease and it can be spread to you when kissing so have him see a dentist to fix this or dump him fast.
