I have a bad tooth in my mouth which needs to come out... However When I pee It smells very bad and its very strong so I went to the doctor and got an std check because it scared me so when the results came it it was negative so I was very happy. However they told me I had a bladder infection so I got the medicine to clear it up and for a week it was fine now its happening again. So I believe its coming from my tooth which needs to come out but I'm not sure can anyone help me... In the mean time I been drinking lots of water and cranberry juice to calm down the smell.

Did you take all the antibiotics for the bladder infection, or did you stop taking them when you felt better?
Your tooth problem and your bladder problem are two separate issues.

My STD came back clear so if its not my tooth then the other thing is my kidneys right? Or maybe I just keep getting bacteria entering my body which such a lot.

Please go back to your doctor to let him know the bladder problem still exists. It's a separate problem from the tooth rotting. And yes, an infection in the bladder can back up into both kidneys -- and into the rest of your body.
Bacteria is always entering our bodies, even through our skin. Please also get that tooth taken care of. You could end up with blood poisoning throughout your body.
