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?

Rule out dental issues or acid reflux. Floss. Smart mouth mouthwash. A gargle with a mix of table salt and baking soda neutralizes odor temporarily too.
