Dentist 's  Response
Hello ,

Thanks for consulting HCM.

Read your query, as you are facing problem of bad breath this Halitosis can be due to some reasons which includes Not having proper oral hygiene , caries tooth , decayed tooth , periodontal disease, sinuse related ,stress and anxiety related , eating of certain food like garlic , onion , fish , meat , chesse , or due to habit related also .
Dont worry I will suggest you to consult dentist and go for examination of oral cavity and rule out the cause of halitosis , go for oral prophylaxis (scaling and root planning ) every six month , maintain proper oral hygiene , use mouthwash chlorhexidine regularly , do warm saline gargle , use waxed interdental floss to clean interdental areas of teeth.

Hope this will help you.
Wishing you good health .

Regards ,
