Hello,
Mouth odour could be due to number of reasons which includes deposits in the mouth, any decayed or badly broken tooth, other disease conditions in the body or the negative which u might be taking. Its better if you could consult a dentist and get urself treated for any oral related causes such as deposits or tooth decay. Do ask ur dentist for a proper brushing technique and follow the same twice daily.
With age there is also possibility for gums to become weak resulting in gap formation which might be lodging food. Again ask ur dentist to prescribe you with additional aids for the same. You can as well keep urself well hydrated and rinse ur mouth thoroughly following every meal

Sometimes bad smell may be because of the medication you are taking you may be having a dry mouth. Sip lots of water during the day to keep your mouth moist. You can use sugar free gum if you want. Besides this get your scaling and polishing (( cleaning of teeth) done. Focus on your oral hygiene by brushing twice daily, using a floss and a mouthwash
