Pediatrician, Neonatology,  's  Response
The bad smell indicates germs are residing inside the mouth of the baby. Germs need not to reside only on the teeth. It is present in the mouth itself. Take a cotton an soak it in water + hexidine mouth wash solution and apply it inside the mouth of the baby twice daily. This will help and prevent bad smell.
