    Jennifer: What’s the best method to deal with recurring bad breath? I’ve done all the brushing, flossing, the mouthwash, the mints, etc. Please help.

    Dr. Vanstrom: Well, it sounds like she’s done a good extensive job of trying to find something to cover that up and she’s not having great success. So there may be an underlying cause.
