Unless you have gum disease or have eaten large amounts of garlicky foods, you can brush your teeth and use mouthwash with good results. And eat Altoids or Tic Tacs. If you have chronic bad breath, you might have a sinus infection, strep throat, or have a bad tooth or gum disease. Good luck!

Floss, brush your teeth for two minutes, and include your gums, cheeks and tongue… bacteria love those areas. You need to brush twice a day.
As well if you drink a lot of soda or coffee/tea, rinse your mouth out with water. The build up causes bad breath.
If you have bad breath most of the time, you may have cavities or other oral concerns that you are unaware of. If thats the case, see your dentist.
There are also medical conditions that cause bad breath.
