Question: I seem to get bad breath late at night. I do not know why when I brush my teeth all the time. It is starting to make me feel insecure.

Answer: People can have bad breath for many different reasons. Even though you are brushing your teeth at night your bad breath can be due to other reasons such as what you are eating throughout the day, dental decay, medications you may be taking, your diet, dry mouth and any ongoing illnesses. If you are not already, make sure that during your dental habits routine to brush not only your teeth but your tongue as well. Your tongue holds onto many bad breath causing germs.
