Brushing your tongue is actually the best way to fight bad breath.

the root cause might be in your stomachbad digestion or in your rotten teeth

Brush your teeth and your tongue. Brushing your tongue is key in this process if you want to be successful.
your tongue should be pink and not white. White means bad breath causing bacteria. Also floss frequently.
You don't really need tooth paste I have found a plain moist tooth brush works better for me when brushing my tongue, cause the bristles get right to it and removes the white bacteria. It can cause you to gag, just be quick 10 - 15 seconds and repeat if needed. Then you can go back and use tooth paste for the taste. The gag is worth it.
Keep hydrated a dry mouth is a stinky mouth.
This should work because you are getting rid of the source of bad breath. Everything else will only mask it.If this doesn't work then seek medical help. Some health conditions can cause bad breath that comes from the stomach and not from your mouth.
Good luck.

First and foremost, stop worrying, this is an easily sorted problem, obviously a checkup with your dentist is advised to see if you have any dental work,gum disease etc that needs attending to, in the meantime try to hydrate as much as is advised daily, maybe give your diet a fresher approach and finally try to keep your mouth and tongue as clean as possible, you should then start reaping the rewards. Hope this is helpful?

Bad breath is caused by bacteria in your mouth. To control bed breath, you should get regular cleanings (every 6 months), brush at least two times a day, floss regularly (once a day would be nice), and rinse with mouth wash (listerine is best, and they have a new vanilla flavor that doesn't taste so strong). Good luck!
