You said you build up tartar very quickly. Have you tried the tartar control toothpastes on the market? Baking soda brushing is also good for odor control. Followed by a good 3 minute brushing with tartar control toothpaste. Listerine kills a lot of germs and so I would follow up with a good Listerine rinse. Also, there are tartar control pre rinses that you might want to try. It seems since you have eliminated other causes, your build up of tartar is the last issue to address.  I build a lot of tartar also and have had to go to these extreme measures to keep my mouth and teeth clean. I brush 3-4 times daily and go through my anti tartar routine. It works and the dentist says my teeth are perfect. I have never lost one and I am almost 50! Shh! Always carry a toothbrush with you to brush when you are away from home. Like after you eat in a restaurant so you will not let tartar accumulate.

Sounds like a virus.  If it has been going on for a long time, it could be a serious condition.  You need to see a doctor.

Have you used a tongue scraper?  Often bacteria accumulates on the tongue which is a major cause of bad breath.

Bad mouth odor is caused chiefly by the lack of saliva production while we are asleep. Salivary proteins, residual food particles, and mouth flora and their byproducts are not flushed down our throats by the continuaous production of saliva that occurs during waking hours. Brush your teeth soon afte you wake up. also gently brush your tongue too. (muc of the odor can come form secretions on the tongue. (the pharmacy has tongue cleaners). Also brush after every meal. Drink a glass of water before going to bed. That should help. Regular dental checkups and teeth and gum cleaning also helps.\nSome people do all the above and still have bas breath. It is rare but is a real problem for them. They need help from medical specialists that know about the condition and treat that problem.\nIt is a 24 hour a day problem. You do not describe the symptoms of  it.\nDoc. Dan.

I think the approach to take, or not take, depends on whether your friends bad breath is just an occasional occurance?  Something that happens with the same frequency as others, like you and me, because we happened to eat something odorous recently?  Or...and here's the one that you may want to chat with your friend about...is the bad breath a thing of consistency.  In other words, day after day, week after week, no matter what your friend eats, etc, he/she seems to have bad breath. I think you should diplomatically talk to her about it.  The reason why I feel that way is because (depending on age, etc) bad breath with a medical cause, can affect your friends standing in her job, career goals, job interviews, many things that are important to her in life but the breath, left untreated, could frustrate or douse her ambitions altogether.  Bad breath may be caused by things other than garlic in the spaghetti.

It is most likely  a sinis condition, perhaps allergy related. Decongestants will probably  help, but if it is as serious as you describe, you should probably see a doctor to validate this.

My mother had severe lung problems all of her life. At 17, she  hemorraged so bad 1/2 of her left lung had to be taken out. She had a lung disease called bronchiestasis(spelling is Variable). She was told that she probably wouldn't live past forty. She went on to have five children, but did suffer constantly from her condition. She did live until she was 69. Many improvements and medical treatments have come along way in the treatment of many lung disorders. Yet, there is no cure for this disease.\nKnowing she had limited lung capacity, she did many things to try to improve her life. One thing that probably added a few more years to her life was to eliminate all aerosol usage. I built her a "clean" room that not only included ac/heat, but also air scrubbing using various filters and insuring that they were always clean.\nThere are some foods that are no-no's when it comes to taking oxygen right out of your system. It would be very beneficial to visit a lung doctor and get a good diet from him. There are also foods that enable you to produce more oxygen. It is going to tkae some \nself involvement and require you to make some adjustments to your life style, but you can help yourself a little. I hope these words are helpful nad know that you have someone who has travelled this road and knows of the problems and downfalls to not being able to get a good breath. Take care and God bless you.

I would consult with your doctor and see why that is happening.  He may have something for you that can help.

you probably have seasonal allergies, you may need to consult an er nose and throat doctor. for now gargle with real salty water 4 times a day to kill bacteria on your tonsils. take an anti histamine if you not allergic like loratidine (claritin/allegra) and see the ENT about getting some nasal steroid like nasonex or flonase, they work wonders for people in your condition.  If this doesn't help the ENT may say the tonsils have gotta go because food particles and junk get stuck behind there and cause bad breath and nasty infections with chronic sore throat.  I had mine remove, no problems.

Sounds like a really bad case of gingivitis to me.   You probably needs to rinse with a salt water solution several times a day.  Use a soft tooth brush.  See your dentist again.

She might have halitosis, which is chronic bad breath.  You could save her the embarassment of being told by others to be the first to mention it.\nYou can say "Honey, I really enjoy kissing you. There's the issue of your breath. I don't know if you're even aware of it, but it's bad.  Maybe you need to switch toothpaste, or try a different mouth-wash".

If you use a tongue cleaner, floss, eat mints, and mouthwash it should work.  If you are still having bad breath after doing all this, see a dentist.  As weird as it seems, it could be signs of a serious condition.

Depending on your location it could be a struggle.\n\nCall NHS direct and they should be able to give you the name of an NHS dentist in your region offering treatment. (if any)

Your problem may be with your stomach.  Do you get heartburn or sour stomach?  Do you have diabetes?  You may have acid reflux disease, or you might be burning fat and be acidotic.  If brushing and flossing don't work, talk to your doctor.  I don't recommend using mouthwash, as that can damage the inside of your mouth and cause further mouth odor.
