i maintain good oral hygeine but still i have bad breath just after hours of brushing pls help

Q. I maintain a very good oral hygeine but i usually have bad breath just after hours of brushing. I have used some of the expensive brands in the market but it still persist. Please give me a helping hand. Cheers

A. Bad breath is a condition called ‘halitosis’
It is often caused by poor oral hygiene, strong foods such as garlic and spices, drinking caffeine and alcohol can cause you to become dehydrated- reducing the saliva in your mouth- you need saliva to rinse the oral cavity from bacteria.
Also, smoking is a big factor.
You need to stress your concerns with your dentist and have regular hygiene visits. Hope this helps and thankyou for your enquiry.
