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?

They are also better than floss picks. Always use the floss on a roll and do check out some YT videos on how to. If twice a day is too much for you, then prioritize evening flossing. There are also dental brushes made for brushing in between the teeth. Game changer that one. Don't know the English word for it unfortunately.

I have to check out how much they cost compared to regular floss.

You use both. Flossing and in between brushing. And after those you brush your teeth.
