A possibility you may have a cavity...have your dentist check.

Make sure that you are brushing your tongue because most of the bacteria in your mouth is on your tongue. Something else that may be causing this smell is periodontal disease. There could be a lot of bacteria under your gums and your toothbrush does not reach into those areas when you floss. ask your dentist or hygienist to check your pocket depth and check to see if you have periodontal disease. you can also try listerine and rinse after every meal. If you are taking any medications, this too may cause the smell!

You must go to the dentist every 6 months to have a cleaning done to help prevent odor in your mouth. Another plus, make sure your brushing the good ole tongue as well which causes the bad breath as well..daily flossing and mouthwash too...how it all works!

Floss. Brush your tongue and use a tongue scraper. See your dentist to do a cleaning. And to check for tooth decay or gum disease. It could be diet related too. Good luck!

Floss to remove food from between teeth, other wise it decomposes (rots) there causing odor, gum disease, cavities.

The treatment for bad breath is dependent upon the cause. http://www.doctorspiller.com/halitosis.htm has a thorough run down of causes and treatments.

Listerine...... if u r british..... listerine supposedly "kills" all germs and plaque and leaves your mouth smelling fresh.
