My mouth has bad smell. Please suggest best tooth paste.

Question

Dear Lybrateuser, - You can use any popular brand toothpaste for your problem - other than the toothpaste, you should take some other important measures which can help reduce the bad breath: - brush twice a day especially after meals, do flossing once a day, clean the tongue especially the back area with a tongue cleaner once a day - avoid more than 1-2 cups of tea, coffee per day, also avoid raw onion, garlic, deep fried & junk foods, restrict dairy items - have plenty of oral fluids including 8-10 glasses of water for proper hydration & digestion as dryness can cause bad smell - can chew sugar free gum for reducing the smell - get a dental checkup done to rule out & correct other problems like presence of plaque, gap in between teeth or broken tooth where food particles can remain stuck, dental caries which can be causing the problem.
