Brief Answer:
Go for scaling and use mouthwash

Detailed Answer:
hi there,

thanks for writing in.

Bad breath can be due to poor oral hygiene or some gastric problems. You need to get scaling done to get rid of bad breath and if problem still persists then contact your physician and inform him about gastric problem. In the meantime, you may use 0.2% chlorhexidine mouthwash 10 ml once daily half an hour after brushing.
Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Thanks
Kind Regards
Dr. Neha Sumra
