You can always use the tongue cleaner, it has a rounded tip at the end and u scrape all the bacteria off your tongue with it, causing 95% of most bad breath.
After, Use Crest Whitening Mouth Wash Followed by Crest No Alchohol Mouth Rinse.
Syrup Drinks Also cause decaying in the gums and cause MAJOR bad breath (Dr. Pepper, Coke, Root Beer, Etc.) so chew some gum after. Some of the most powerful gums are the Cobalt Gums and Stride and Orbit. Pricey but gets the job done.
The most important time to brush your teeth is RIGHT before bed, cause you got 8+ hours without talking and airing out your mouth, causing major bacteria spread and the morning bad breath that Just doesn't go away all day. Thats about all the advice i got, worked for me.

Hi Marnie, there is a supplement to help with this, it's called chlorophyll........you can google it.
Chlorophyll does many things, one of which are it acts like a natural deodorizer for the body.
Helps women keep a more regular cycle too!
The only reason I can think that you wouldn't want to take chlorophyll is if you suffer from an over abundance of iron because chlorophyll helps the body absorb iron more efficiently.
You can get chlorophyll, quite inexpensively at any health food store.

What I've used to remove bad breath is Therabreath. It is all natural, and does not contain alcohol (which dries your mouth), sodium lauryl sulfate (harsh detergent that causes canker sores) and saccharin (a sugar that actually feeds bacteria). It oxidizes the mouth and prevents the growth of that smelly anaerobic bacteria (grows in dry mouth)
It has worked for me right away, and I no longer have the bitter, metallic taste in my mouth.
Stay away from onions, garlic, citrus based juices, milk and dairy and coffee. If you smoke you should stop smoking. Start using therabreath I highly recommend it.

I've had this problem too. Assuming you don't have any decay or gum disease, (the first sign of periodontal disease is odor, because it's an infection of the gums and decay, well, it just smells like garbage and there's no way to mask it) I would suggest getting tablets that contain Chlorophyll and parsley. They're usually near the toothpastes. They neutralize any gastric odors and give your breath a clean minty smell.

These Therapies only help Nature to cure us. Let us not ignore Nature in our mad pursuit of science. THIS NATURE'S 'DO IT YOURSELF' ACUPRESSURE THERAPY ITSLEF IS A SCIENCE AND NOT A MATTER OF BELIEF. Try this Therapy sincerely and regularly for at least 15 days and observe its wonderful and amazing result.
Dental care & mouth care.
After every meal, chew a little salt and gargle with water. Soft brush can be used to clean the particles caught between the teeth and the gums. Make it habit to clean the teeth every morning and before retiring to bed. In India, people use thin twig of a Babul, Banyan or a Neem tree (known as Datoon) as a brush. First it is to be crushed to make it soft and then use it like a brush. It is advisable to us a Datoon of Babul, Banyan or Neem tree at least once a day.
It is reported by experienced dentists that tooth pastes available in the marked are not much effective. Instead, the following tooth powder or paste which can be easily made at home has been found quite useful for the care of gums and teeth :
1. Tooth Powder : Mixture of finely ground alum powder 40% and rock salt or regular salt powder 60%. For better results, a few drops of lemon may be added. In case of dental problems, adding a little of 'Sudarshan' (a bitter Ayrvedic powder is also recommended.
2. Tooth-paste : For dental problems like bleeding, pyorrhoea, toothache,gingivitis, etc. make a paste of
50% alum powder
10% rock salt or table salt powder
10% Sudarshan powder (an Ayurvedic preparation)
15% edible oil (unrefined)
10% glycerine tanic acid
5% camphor.
The paste made of this mixture can be massaged on the teeth and gums in the morning and evening with fingers. It ca be packed in collapsible tubes/jars and used, as tooth-paste.
3. Even massaging the gums with a mixture of 70% unrefined edible oil (seasame or groundnut or coconut), 15% glycerine tanic acid and 15% fine powder of rock salt or table salt is useful for good, healthy teeth and gums. Make it a daily habit. Please not that healthy gums are more useful than sparkling white teeth.
4. Mouth Freshener : Gargling with a lemon juice mixed with lukewarm water, freshens the mouth. Take a quarter of a lemon, massage it on teeth and gums and then gargle with water. Even chewing of mango, tulsi or betel leaves after meals is good, and so it is advised in India.
5. Exercises for teeth : Keep the lips closed. Pound the upper teeth on lower teeth for 30 to 40 times twice a day. Then massage the saliva on gums with the tongue. That will ensure proper blood circulation in teeth and increase the life of healthy teeth and gums.
