hi donna, thanks for the update.
sorry that you have an infection and have to take antibiotics...
have you ever heard of using hydrogen peroxide half strength and mixing it with mouth wash without alcohol. Just swish it around in your mouth don't swallow. swish it for at least 30 seconds. look at a container of peroxide. it says for dental debridement.
Ask your dentist about it. Instead of mouth wash I use:
Thera breath dentist formulated,healthy gums oral rinse I get it off amazon.
you can use half water and half peroxide.
