Bad Breath
Hi. I have been experiencing problems of bad breath and dry mouth since quite a while now. Mouth starts literally stinking after a few hours of brushing and no matter how much water I drink, my mouth is constantly dry. Should I consult a dentist or a physician? What type of help can a physician offer?
