Question : I am suffering from bad smell from my mouth. I visited doctor and she told all extrinsic deposits removed and tooth also got cleaned. Still I am facing the same problem. Then she told it's because of small deposits in gums. She asked to rinse using plax instead of normal water.

May I know what is the actual problem and perfect solution to get rid of the bad smell from mouth.

Also get an ENT examination.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing your query.
After reading your post, I would suggest that you should go for a clinical examination by an ENT specialist. Sometimes bad smell can be due to infection in the nose or pharynx.
More can be commented after clinical evaluation.
I hope this is helpful to you.
If you have any further query, I will be happy to help.
Thanks.
