Avatar n tn My question is that ever since I have quit smoking and had my wisdom tooth taken out, I've noticed soreness in my upper back area, and on the lower mollars there is blackening around my crowns. My mouth has a bad taste and odor to it as well. I've been using an electric tooth brush, and floss alone with listerine. Do I need to make another dentist apt. or is there something I can do to get rid of the blackness and odor?
Avatar m tn I clean it and brush my teeth twice a day. I soak it overnight in denture cleaner. But one and ONLY ONE of the four teeth has a bad taste that comes from it. What is causing this?
Avatar m tn For a couple of days the gum surrounding the tooth was swollen and painful to the touch, the swelling and pain went away, but it has been replaced by a rotten taste coming from the tooth that has been there for the past week. The taste has become milder but it's still there, the tooth itself is painless. I've been rinsing my mouth with vodka every night before bed to try to kill any bacteria that might be there.
Avatar m tn Other than that there are many reasons for a foul taste in mouth such as medications, infection of gums or cavities in teeth, post nasal drip as in sinusitis, salivary glands infection, pharyngitis or strep infection, dentures and artificial tooth or filling of dental cavities, Sjogren’s syndrome and copper or lead toxicity, poor oral hygiene, diabetes, liver problems, vitamin B12 deficiency, and over consumption of fluoride which is commonly present in certain mouthwashes and toothpastes , cer
Avatar m tn The same thing happens eg when I eat an apple or a slice of toast; I can detect the bad taste through the food taste if I chew on that side. When I first floss the smell can be quite bad, but the more I floss or use brushes, the worse the smell gets and it never diminishes. Particularly if I firmly run the floss down the crown into and underneath the gum line the odour gets bad. I can guarantee that food can never be trapped for more than 10 minutes, before I floss.
Avatar f tn Why do I have bad breath and a bad taste in my mouth? I'm always brushing my teeth and gums everyday. I brush my teeth and gums so much that I make them irritated causing them to bleed including my tongue. After I finish brushing my teeth I noticed a white slimy like discharge in my mouth as if I'm allegeric to the tooth paste. I've been to the dentist before but I still don't know why I'm experiencing this problem. Its very embarrassing and I'm ashamed to talk about.
Avatar f tn After everything was finished I still had the bad taste and metallic taste. He then said it was probably another tooth and it should be extracted. I'm not going back to him but started researching this taste thing and saw where people with Sjogrens or Sarcoid may experience this. I have been diagnosed with both (in early 2008). I mentioned to two different dentist that I had both and neither one said a word about the connection.
Avatar n tn My husband has had a severe nose infection(following a tooth extraction) for 3 months. He gets a strong smell that comes through his nose. He has lost his sence of smell and taste. He has been on three different medication with no relief. What can he do next.
Avatar n tn When I massaged the gum with my finger, I got a really foul taste from the gum. So I went to the dentist. He examined the gum and the crown/tooth joint and didn't see anything that looked bad. When he massaged the gum, he didn't see anything, but I still got a slightly foul taste (but not nearly as strong). He then did a percussion test, tapping firmly on all surfaces of the tooth, and I had no pain.
Avatar n tn Do you have fever, swelling, pain in the area, bad taste, pus, etc? Those are all signs and symptoms of an infection and would need to be evaluated by a dentist for proper treatment.
Avatar f tn I piece of it broke off and for the past 4 days there has been a swelling in my gums that has been increasing daily. There has also been a bad taste and it becomes very painful if I do not take Ibuprofine (sp?) and now my ear on the same side has been clogged up. Does anyone know what's the matter with my mouth?

Avatar m tn I have 3 abscessed teeth. Bad taste in mouth, hoarseness and what I woke up today. This is a bad drug! This is just one site. Answer the question about his tooth which is why he was put on. Then explain to him his new disease and your diagnosis from drug!
Avatar f tn I’ve had a horrible taste coming from the tooth all day... is this the infection draining or is it the tooth pulp dying? Or both? My question here is it safe that I’m swallowing it? I assume it’s better than it being trapped but I’m still freaked out and now scared of sepcis. When will the antibiotics work? When should I go too the ER or call the dentist again? Am I being Overly dramatic and just need to let the antibiotics work and relax? Probably right?
Avatar f tn It sounds like an abcess, and the bad taste is the infection draining. Go to the dentist, he can help you with this.
Avatar f tn Basically, I have a small spot on my gum that appears every day or so, bursts and then goes away again. There is no pain, no bad taste and no smell (and very little discharge). I went to the dentist a couple of times recently, and the first time she gave me a course of antibiotics, and the second time a deep scale and clean. She has x-rayed the tooth (it had a root canal years ago) and says that the root canal is intact, and that the infection is in a pocket between the tooth and the gum.
Avatar f tn but i noticed some weird symptoms, for the past few days I get a bad taste in my mouth that wont go away. dont think its an infection because i dont have any other symptoms of a infection but the one is bothering me is my jaw, ever since yesterday, both sides have been feeling sore and kinda tight. it comes and goes and now, only the side by my wisdom tooth hole feels tight. a few days earlier, i've been biting down on my teeth alot, could this be why?
Avatar f tn hi all i had a wisdom tooth took out last friday had to go bk to dentist today as i had a rally bad taste coming out of it and they said i had a bit of an infection but the salt water had sorted it so they cleaned all the tooth out and packed it my question is whilst its packed cud i still rinse it out with salt water thank u
Avatar f tn Thank you for replying. I am wondering if all this mucus can be affecting my teeth - since January, have had two 3-teeth bridges just slide right off teeth; had to have one back top tooth pulled; one root-canal under; and now from dental cleaning yesterday, two more cavities and one being under the tooth holding the front bridge that already had an old root canal. Have you heard of sinus infections affecting/causing teeth to decay? All these teeth problems started in January. Strange.
1492418 tn?1289149263 my question is I have a metal taste in my mouth where my tongue touches the lower back teeth on both sides. About a year ago i had an infection above my upper 2nd tooth from the back. My doctor phoned in antibiotics for me but I never went to the dentist. Ever since I have had this taste in my mouth and that tooth is still sensitive as well as that sinus but no longer hurts. Is there any home remedy for this??
Avatar n tn some time within the next 2 - 3 days if not sooner. An acquaintance of our family passed away as a result of a tooth infection. He was faily elderly and had other issues. Good luck to you.
Avatar f tn Any swelling in that area still? The bad taste may be from food getting stuck in there. You may want to call for a stronger pain prescription possibly.
Avatar n tn It is now the next day (I have started the antibiotics) and a bad taste is in my mouth.. is it from all the blood? From the antibiotics? Or the actual abscess.. I read somewhere that it is possible for the abscess to still linger until all the dead cells are removed so the taste/smell can linger. Any ideas? I am not in horrible pain so I don't believe it is a dry socket. I can't really describe the taste other than unpleasent.
Avatar m tn Since that time had an ongoing foul taste and odor when I used Water Flosser daily. The adjacent tooth became infected and also required a root canal. This time done by an Endadontist. Two hour procedure, packed with antibiotics and two weeks later root canal completed. Within a week the taste and odor returned once again. Some dentist say I have an infection then Endodontist says there is no infection. I recently had surgery done on my leg with the artificial joint.
