Always have bad breath?

I would get in to see a Periodontist. Many times, the "bad breath" is due to bacterial deposits behind the gum line. If so, they will scale your teeth, and probably give you a prescription mouth wash.

Hi ThatGuy,

Bad breath s a common problem and everybody experiences even if for shorter durations.Since you take care of your oral hygiene it does not seem to be the cause.There are a lot of reasons that cause bad breath.The first one can be the reasons in your mouth like deposits on your teeth.some times even if you regularly brush your teeth food deposits can be found on teeth.So if you have not got your teeth cleaned by a professional in an year you should get it done as soon as possible.The next reason can be gum disease which may not be evident to you and professional care can help you get rid of it.If you use smoke or use any kinds of tobacco based products you must discontinue its use.Thee next reason can be dry mouth.Try to drink water frequently.If possible try to take a small sip of water every say 15 minutes.This will help your mouth to remain moist and thus prevent bad breath.If you have any cavities that are not treated then try and get it filled as it can also lead to bad breath.The next set of reasons can be any health problem that you have or any medications you are taking since a long time.Health problems include improper digestion ,gastric problems ,cold , sinusitis ,any respiratory problems etc.If you have any of these then you should get it treated and your bad breath will also be cured.

Continue your oral oral hygiene measures but do not overdo it.Drink adequate water as i suggested earlier.You will be fine.

take care.

It sounds like you're doing everything you can. With that said, alcohol based mouthwash can actually worsen your breath, so you might want to stop using it, or at least get a mouthwash that is not alcohol based.

When I'm worried about my breath, I pop a cough drop in my mouth, as it stimulates saliva and has a very strong scent.

Good luck!
