H pylori doubt
In one of the support groups, i read h pylori can colonise in oral cavity.. i have some roughness in my buccal mucosa, last year there was hyperpigmentation and it was in both the sides, can this be due to h pylori?
All my stomach issues started post this.
I was told to use a toothpaste with biocin so that is disrupts the biofilm coating of the bacteria.. i have attached a pic of my mucosa, you can see the residual pigmentation (its very less though)..
After 1 round of antibiotics, H pylori was still positive, so this time i want to take additional precautions... please suggest me any biocin toothpaste/mouthwash to aid the h pylori eradication! Thank you

Hie..
Since as per your current status you are still positive for H.pylori.. it mainly stays in stomach only..
I will suggest go for periodontal therapy for mouth at first and use “turmix” mouthwash twice a day atleast ..
consult gastroenterologist for complete eradication of it.. since they will start a triple or quadruple therapy depending on ur current status.
Next Steps
Use mouthwash and consult gastroenterologist
