Hello!Welcome to HCM.
Gum infections can cause bad breath.As you saw your dentist and ruled out a dental cause, i suggest you to see your physician.
Check if you have GERD.
smoking and other tobacco habits also cause this.
You did not mention anything about your general health. Diabetics,liver and kidney disease ,tonsillitis and other respiratory infections potentially cause halitosis.
Check if you have a low salivary flow.
If any of the above includes your general health, this has to be corrected immediately.
Use saliva substitutes if you suffer low saliva flow.Keep away garlic,onion,tobacco products.Brush your teeth and tongue twice daily.Maintain a good oral hygiene.
Do not brush your teeth constantly.This will not help you, it will make your teeth yellow.You will lose enamel on your teeth.
Regards.
