I’ve been struggling with persistent bad breath and I’m not sure why. I brush my teeth daily, sometimes up to three times a day, and use mouthwash regularly. I also try to floss every night, or in the morning if I miss it at night. I usually use floss picks and gently use the pointed end around my molars to remove buildup near the gums. I also brush and scrape my tongue regularly.

I do smoke weed, usually after work about 2–3 times a day. Occasionally I’ll smoke a few puffs at lunch or before the gym, but I always brush my teeth and use mouthwash afterward. I also take Adderall, which I know can cause dry mouth.

Despite all of this, my breath still seems to smell bad — sometimes sulfur-like or sour — and I notice people reacting when I speak. Some days are worse than others, and I haven’t been able to figure out what specifically triggers it.

I also deal with acid reflux at times, especially when I eat dinner late, and that can leave a sour taste and odor in my mouth. I mainly use Marvis toothpaste, Euthymol toothpaste, and the CVS version of TheraBreath mouthwash because other toothpastes make my mouth still feel dirty afterward.

After paying attention to it for a while, I feel like dry mouth may be the main issue, but I already drink mostly water throughout the day. I’m not sure what else to try and would appreciate any advice or insight.

Edit: forgot to mention I scrape my tongue almost every time I brush. I even have a toothbrush, toothpaste, and a scraper at work.

So I struggle with bad breath. I don’t understand why though. I brush my teeth everyday, sometimes 3 times in a day and mouthwash. I try to floss every night and if I don’t, I floss in the morning before brushing. I use a pick floss mostly so I use the pick part to scrape the plaque on the molars in the gum (like the dentist do. Very gently, of course) I do smoke (weed) but only after work and it’s about 2-3x a day. I take Adderall so that contributes to dry mouth. Also, there are times I smoke at lunch (maybe 4-5 puffs) and brush my teeth and use mouthwash. I try to do the same before the gym (daily) and it still seems to smell. It smells like fart & many people react when I speak to them so I know it smells. Some days are better than others but idk what specifically affects it. I know sometimes I eat dinner really late & the acid reflux causes a sour taste and a bad odor. I use Marvis tooth paste and euthymol which I’ve stuck to cause I hate crest and other brands (I feel like my mouth still feels dirty after) and the mouthwash is the cvs version of therabreath. After analyzing and observing, I feel the main issue is dry mouth but LITERALLY all I drink is water. Idk what else to do. Please help.
