Severe Bad Breath problem
Hello every one, I have bad breath problem since my childhood recently I visited a dentist scaling also done but problem not solved then again visited other dentists and oral medicine and radiology specialist also every one said there is no dental problem. Then I have visited ENT and Gastroenterology doctors also. Now I am brushing twice,flossing and using listerine mouthwash also. Please tell me what the problem I have. I am observing most of the smell coming from tongue.
