Certain diets and defficiencies can cause can breath. It can also be symptomatic of a bigger problem which may require a visit to the dentist to be diagnosed and treated properly. So the only solution may be a dentist visit. Otherwise, try a good mouth wash as a first step to see if that helps before spending money on a dentist. There are also breath sprays.. my feeling is that this will mask the breath, rather than tackle the causing problem, though.

Chew on a fresh mint leaf.

Micro-biotics....cleanse yourself....you'll get rid of that halitosis(sp) plus alot more.

have your tonsils checked. bad tonsils can produce a noticeable odor

If you already take good care of your oral hygene then it could be either gum disease or stomach problems. Lots of bad breath comes from the stomach believe it or not. Ask your dentist.

If you're already brushing, flossing, tongue scraping & using mouth wash I'd get yourself to a dentist & see whats up.

Convince the people you talk to that THEY'RE the ones who have the distasteful breath, then find a solution later. Bring up their bad breath before they bring up yours, they'll go running.

do you floss often ? why isnt gum an option ? maybe you could get mints intead of gum.

Plague, tartar, gingivitis, and flossing are all contributory to oral health. And don't forget to brush your tongue, too ! You wouldn't believe the "slime" that can come off it ! But. . .remember too. . .that you MAY have some issue with your colon and/or internal health that MAYBE your health care provider could investigate. You CAN'T clear-up oral health problems if there's an "internal" problem going on. You'd ONLY be able to "mask" it temporarily with a mouthwash.

Halitosis, oral malodor, breath odor, mouth odor, foul breath, fege bosta, fetor oris, fetor ex ore, or most commonly bad breath are terms used to describe noticeably unpleasant odors exhaled in breathing – whether the smell is from an oral source or not. Halitosis has a significant impact – personally and socially – on those who suffer from it or believe they do (halitophobia), and is estimated to be the third most frequent reason for seeking dental aid, following tooth decay and periodontal disease. The most common cause of bad breath (halitosis) is diseased gums. Dental decay at the roots of the teeth may result in abscesses in the gums with foul-smelling pus, giving an objectionable odour to the breath. Even small holes in the teeth may provide a place where germs can multiply and release foul odours. Other causes of bad breath are conditions of the nose, throat, respiratory tract, or stomach which are associated with chronic infection or local upsets of one sort or another, such as chronic tonsillitis, lung diseases like chronic bronchitis and bronchiectasis, chronic gastritis, and sinusitis which causes a discharge at the back of the throat. Many cases of bad breath, however, are caused by gastro-intestinal disorders, intestinal sluggishness and particularly by chronic constipation. Halitosis treatment using Fenugreek Among the several home remedies for halitosis, the use of fenugreek has proved most effective. A tea made from the seeds of this vegetable should be taken regularly for correcting the condition. This tea is prepared by putting one teaspoon of seeds in half a litre of cold water and allowing it to simmer for fifteen minutes over a low flame. It should then be strained and used as tea. Halitosis treatment using Avocado Another effective remedy for bad breath is avocado, which is far superior to any mouth lotion or remedies for this condition. It effectively removes intestinal putrefaction or decomposition which is one of the most important causes of bad breath. Halitosis treatment using Guava Unripe guava is useful in halitosis. It is rich in tannic, malic, oxalic, and phosphoric acids as well as calcium, oxalate, and manganese. Chewing it is an excellent tonic for the teeth and gums. It helps cure bleeding from gums and stops bad breath. Chewing tender leaves of guava tree also stops bleeding from gums and bad breath. Halitosis treatment using Parsley Parsley is a valuable Cure for bad breath. Two cups of water should be boiled and several sprigs of parsley, coarsely chopped, should be steeped in this water along with two or three whole cloves or a quarter teaspoon of ground cloves. This mixture should be stirred occasionally while cooling. It should then be strained and used as a mouthwash or gargle several times a day. Halitosis treatment using Raw Juices All fruit and vegetable juices are beneficial in the treatment of halitosis and should be taken liberally by those suffering from this disorder. Juices from green vegetables are especially valuable. A well balanced diet Patients suffering from halitosis should take a well-balanced diet consisting of seeds, nuts, grains, vegetables, and fruits, with emphasis on raw and cooked vegetables, and fruits. In case of constipation, all measures should be adopted for its eradication. The patient should avoid refined carbohydrate foods, such as white sugar; white bread and products made from them, as well as meat find eggs. Other bad breath treatment The teeth should be cleaned twice a day, especially before going to bed at night. Meat particles should be removed carefully with toothpicks. In case of decaying teeth and swollen and bleeding gums, a dentist should be consulted. Munching a raw apple or guava after lunch removes most of the trapped particles. The use of the twigs of the margosa (margosa) tree as a toothbrush is the best method of cleaning the teeth.

when brushing your teeth be sure to brush your tongue and the upper palate as far back in the throat without gagging as you can. then use a good mouth wash and gargle as deep in the throat as you can and for as long as you can. Certain spicy foods and milk based foods can give you bad breath. Empty stomach can also give you bad breath.
