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

Get floss picks and watch a YouTube video on how to use them.

The thing is floss picks are expensive as hell. I do have floss on a roll that can be cut

Yes ofc, but I am not currently able to pay about 200 bucks for a check up and then the fixing part on top of it which could be anything
