Is it normal to have a bad smell after tooth extraction?

Answer 1

Depending on how long its been since your surgery, the smell could be from many things. If theres a smell and taste, it could be dissolving stitches.There is possible infection if there is smell and pain. Or it could simply be from the fact that the blood clot is causing smell.

Answer 2

No, this is not true. The cause of bad breath is an unclean mouth. One should always clean his teeth after taking food. The bits of food that remain hidden between teeth are the major cause of bad breath. Tooth cavities are a also a reason for bad breath.

So , remember to brush your teeth twice a day, esp before going to bed. and have those cavities filled up. use a dental floss, it surely helps.

carry some cinnamon in your pocket :)

yes. if you received dissolving sutures, it may be due to the sutures dissolving leaving a foul taste/odor. otherwise, it could be due to infection, or possibly just not brushing the sensitive area causing plaque to build up. just be sure to alert the dentist so (s)he can give you an individual diagnosis.
