There are 3 important areas where bad breath can emanate from. The teeth/gums, where food can get trapped, the tonsils with crypts and holes where food can get trapped, and the oropharyngeal biome where bad bacteria can take over from good bacteria.

The teeth and gums need dental care to eliminate pockets and gaps where food can accumulate, and rot. The tonsils need shrinking down byaser vapourisation to remove the crypts, crevices and holes where food traps and forms tonsil stones, which decay and release a bad smell. Finally the oropharyngeal biome needs rebalancing by use of antiseptic mouth and throat wash with pre-biotic added e.g. Pre-Bio mouthwash.
