What kills common mouth bacteria?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mouth Bacteria: What are you trying to accomplish? Discuss your concerns with your own dentist who can examine you and help advise you. We can control bacteria in our mouths but not totally destroy them without damage to the soft tissues inside our mouths. Besides, killing all bacteria and changing nature's balance of microorganisms causes other problems.
