A member asked:

What type of antibiotic and dose will give me a full mouth detox to eliminate the bad smelling bacteria in my mouth permanently?

2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Go see a dentist: You might benefit from consulting a dentist. As most such problems arise due to poor gum or dental health. Antibiotics alone are not likely to help you and they are not medically indicatedin this siuation.

None.: There is no permanent solution. See your dentist to find out the cause of the mal-odor.
