Dentist 's  Response
Hello and welcome to HCM forum,
I would like to advise you to kindly speak to your boyfriend about seeing a dentist every 3-4 months for regular cleaning. Which is a very important part of our lives. Also, teeth are responsible for our general health including aestheticsor overall appearance of an individual.
Taking care of oral health automatically improves general health.
Kindly inform your boyfriend about all the above mentioned points and visit a dentist soon. Prevention is better than cure.

I hope my answer helped you.
I wish you goos health
Take care.

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The bad breath could be because of the deposits over the teeth causing gum infection. Or it can be because of the pus discharge secondary to gum or tooth infection or any respiratory tract infection.
Consult a oral physician and get yourself examined to rule out these conditions.
if it is gum infection get the teeth cleaned once and maintain oral hygiene after that. You can use mouth wash.
if it is tooth infection or decayed teeth, get the teeth restored.
If it is respiratory tract infection consult a pulmonologost.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
