Why Does My Breath Stink Even After Brushing

The tongue can collect a lot of bacteria and is constantly brushing up against your teeth. If you skip brushing it, you’re leaving a large number of bacteria in the mouth which can mean bad breath, even after brushing.

Why does my breath stink no matter what I do?

There are many causes of halitosis. Most of the time, it is caused by small, decaying food particles lodged in crevices in the mouth. These crevices can be between teeth, in orthodontic devices or in dentures. Food particles can also lodge in tonsils and in crevices in the tongue, especially on the back part.

What is it called when you brush your teeth and your breath still stinks?

Halitosis – or chronic bad breath – is something that mints, mouthwash or a good brushing can’t solve. Unlike “morning breath” or a strong smell that lingers after a tuna sandwich, halitosis remains for an extended amount of time and may be a sign of something more serious.
