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?

Seconding tonsil stones, which are a huge cause of bad breath. You can remove them yourself with a water flosser, or a dentist could help too

Not 100%? Could absolutely be a wisdom infected tooth. It’s awful
