How to cure bad breath?

Leahhhxo asked:


Basically, I brush my teeth twice a day.
In the middle of the day I can feel my breath getting really smelly, and when I’ve asked people too, they’ve said it does smell.
I’ve tried everything, I’ve changed my toothbrush, my toothpaste, I use mouthwash quite regularly and sometimes I also flosh. I don’t eat garlic or anything, I normally eat ham sandwiches for lunch and shizz xD
I really can’t think what else it could be, but its really bad.
Any ideas on how to cure it?

Thanks in advance.

I hate the idea of having bad breath, it’s almost like a phobia. I always pick the onions out of my food and usually don’t eat garlic. How long does bad breath last after these things? I know garlic is worse.

Thanks!
