Well typically it’s halitosis (bacteria chillin’ like villains in yer mouth). However since she will be brushing her teeth and chewing gum here is a good list of the shiznit that could also be a causing it.

Medical Causes of Bad Breath
1. Sinus infections & abnormal sinus anatomies, post nasal drainage (drips)
2. Tonsilar infections or tonsiloliths
3. Lung diseases
4. Kidney diseases
5. Liver diseases
6. Blood disorders
7. Diabetes
8. Gallbladder dysfunction
9. Menstruation
10. Carcinomas
11. Certain foods

Dental Causes of Bad Breath
1. Extensive dental decay
2. Periodontal (gum) disease
3. Oral infections or abscesses
4. Oral cancers
5. Xerostomia (dry mouth condition). Many medications can contribute to a condition of xerostomia.
6. Oral conditions resulting from post-nasal drips or discharges
7. Allergy conditions
8. A proliferation of specific types of gram (-) anaerobic bacteria.

Beyond these you might consider trying to “cleanse” out your organs. Liver, kidney, colon etc.. because doing that will improve your digestion and your body will better be able to process all the crap you throw at it without making you blow out putrid smelling liquid. There are tons of cleanses at www.curezone.com

  • Vigourous brushing of the tongue (although not vigourous enough to make it bleed!) will help greatly. No need to use any toothpaste on it though (there's a reason it;s called TOOTHpaste!). Just use plenty of (as hot as you can comfortably bear) water.
  • Sleepy
    If the dude just wanted a regurgitation medical bs found elsewhere he could have googled it out himself (politically incorrectly assuming that it is a dude as he has a girlfriend). listed above are some of the worst possible conditions that even dentists rule out as the first line of diagnosis.

    the main cause of bad breath the stinking acres of real estate called the tongue. the teeth by themselves are inorganic and have insignificant surface area compared to the acreage available for settlement on the tongue.

    so try a few simple techniques explained in yoga. if that's too bizarre for your taste just have you girlfriend brush her tongue with very little toothpaste. i mean serious cleaning to the back the throat until that gag reflex doesn't get too much. this is intense cleaning no mouthwash can match. have her do this everyday and enjoy the clean.

    all this works only of course in the absence of any obvious reasons like an addiction to a combo of coffee and tobacco or cavities that are holding the odor causing goodies. most often if you are stuck on blaming the teeth you will be stuck with a stinking partner.
  • Well, the quality of the question determines the quality of the answer. So if they seem to genuinely want help and are listing things they have tried, then I will give help. If they don't then I will inform them in a total smartass way :)
