You brush your teeth for one minute? Dude, that's not enough. Especially if you have breath issues. I use at least 3 minutes to brush my teeth, morning, afternoon and evening. And my breath's fine. Try that. You don't have to brush your teeth 3 times a day, that's just something I do bc I hate having a smelly breath. But twice a day, and you should brush for about 3 minutes.
I gave up toothpaste years ago, and really enjoy the freshness of brushing with mouthwash (citrus listerine for me).
If the bad breath resists mouthwash, try rinsing with hydrogen peroxide. There are some strains of bacteria (anaerobic) that mouthwash just won't kill.
Well bad smell out of mouth usually isnt because of yours mouth hyghene, it is more common that it is your stomouch or whatever u call that.
Bad breath can come from your stomach, I would try eating something different.
Do you have thrush or stomach/ gastrointestinal issues? Diabetic perhaps? Maybe you should have a physical to rule conditions out or to pinpoint the cause.
Until you make it to the dentist, try eating fruit after you brush your teeth. An apple or some grapes will neutralize your bad breath.
That's a sign of gingivitis, a gum disease. Talk to your dentist and he/she can help you take care of it.
Try a tongue scrapper and gargle with hydrogen peroxide. Don't eat mints or chew gum because the sugar makes the smell worse. Also tea is a known odor killer. Good luck!
