Firstly for mouthwash u can use chlorhexidine mouthwash twice a day for 1 week and then once a day as usual as brushing but keep at least half an hour of gap between brushing and mouthwash. Secondly u should visit a periodontist for this and would suggest for opg xray to check the extent of calculus subgingivally and if pockets are involved and calculus deposits are there I would advice you for lasic flap surgery.
Health Tips
U can also clean teeth with alum powder and salt mixture alternatively to get rid of bad breath at least for some time.
