How do you get rid of bad breath? I've had bad breath since I was a kid and it doesn't seem to go away no matter what I do. I brush my teeth everyday, use mouthwash and a tongue scraper, have a generally healthy diet, and have tried using gum/mints and mouth sprays. Any other suggestions? Pic unrelated.
drink plenty of water, dry mouth is a huge contributor.

Water is the only thing I drink, but I end up having a dry mouth rather often. I guess I should look into that too.

If that doesn't work you might want to see a dentist

And do you floss? Make sure you get in b/w every tooth and scrape both sides well. And how do you brush? Are you covering each tooth for ~10 seconds and covering each surface (front, biting, back, gums, tongue)
For toothbrush, you can always get an electric one to really get rid of everything. Even better if it has a UV light stand. It will kill bacteria on the bristles (Ex: TAO clean brush, costs about $90 with the discount).
When you brush, don't rinse. Just spit out the toothpaste. Use your tongue cleaner and make sure you get ALL the way to the back. Then use mouthwash. Then use alcohol free fluoride rinse. Then you're done.
If you really want, you can brush after every meal or take those small portable/disposable brushes w/ you outside. And only drink water. Eat apples.
If your bad breath doesn't go away, then you get a problem, lad

dry mouth definitely contributes to bad breath
Do you have chronic acid reflux?

Have you considered talking to a dentist about it?
