The main causes of bad breath include bacterial coating on the tongue, gingivitis (gum inflammation), periodontitis (inflammation of the tooth-supporting structures), carious lesions, leaking dentures, and xerostomia (insufficient saliva flow).

It is very difficult to detect your own bad breath. For this reason, it should be assessed by a professional.

More often, however, the opposite is true. A thorough diagnostic assessment is indicated here.
