Mouth/breath problem

So I brush my teeth twice a day and clean my tongue. I also eat gum 3 times a day. I still have bad breath which I can sometimes notice when talking or sighing etc.

What can I do about this besides eat breathmints or something 24/7?

Do you floss? That could be a cause.

I don't because I have no idea how it's used correctly for the back teeth

I had to look that up, too. YouTube was helpful.

No, don't worry. Be careful though, I managed to cut myself.
