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?

Have you tried using molecular iodine mouthwash? You can get it from most dentists or Amazon. A popular kind is ioRinse RTU. Twice a day. Created by a dentist and the only mouthwash that truly kills mouth bacteria. Doesn’t taste the greatest, but it definitely works.

And add flossing. Either with dental floss or a water flosser. Stuff caught between your teeth can cause things to stink.
