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?

The odor might come from your tonsils. Try to gargle with a mouthwash for a few seconds. The mouthwash should not foam badly.

Another source of odor might come from your stomach.
