A foul smell after wisdom teeth extraction can be caused by several factors, including infection, food particles trapped in the extraction site, or dry socket, where the blood clot dislodges and exposes underlying bone and nerves. Bacteria can thrive in these areas, leading to unpleasant odors. If the smell persists, it's essential to consult your dentist or oral surgeon to rule out complications and receive appropriate treatment.
