gum infection smell

Four days after extraction I started feeling a salty taste in mouth. I went back to the dentist who diagnosed a gum infection to the side of the extraction site. Amoxicillin was prescribed as well as Peridex. The gum infection subsided and following a second visit, the dentist said the infection was now controlled. I have however, when I press the gum on the side of the extraction site a very bad pus smell coming up from the right nostril, other than that I do not have any other symptoms.

Hi megs222726, I just read your comments. First of all I wouldn't push on the outside of your gum. If you think there is a possible infection, I think I would get yourself an appointment with your dentist as soon as possible. Infections in the mouth can get quite serious. You should be seen by your dentist asap, i.e. 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.

Once it breaks through the gums they come up in days like practically over night. The Smell is probably from and infection. Chances are you have an infection in your gums caused by tooth. I suggest that you go to the dentist to check it out and more than likely he/she will also want to extract the tooth. Most people like myself once the wisdom teeth start breaking through the gums we get them extratced because they cause nothing but problems and get pulled out anyway.

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. She advised increased dental hygiene in order to shift the infection, and said that there was nothing else she could do beyond extracting the tooth. Since then I have been beyond meticulous in trying to keep my teeth clean.

But there are no signs of changes - the bad smell persists. I guess that there might be some hidden gum infection and I would like to know whether the use of natural supplements like Gum-Plus+ or OraMD or others may lead to the bad smell disappearing? How do you value the use of natural supplements?

I have to suck mints continuously. If I chew gum this makes the smell worse, as it seems to “leech” out the smell from the gum. 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.

Sometimes a sinus infection, gum infection, throat infection or ear infection can have an odor that you can detect transiently when you pass the person or you are the person. Vaginal odors can also sometimes be detected. Please be aware that some people detect odors better than others. The perm smell is usually related to sulfur or ammonia products. You might also be detecting sewer gas leak if you have a cracked drain pipe some where. It might also be perm chemicals wafting through the air.

when i touch the gums around my two back teeth on the bottom of my mouth my finger comes out smelling gross, the gum around these teeth is kinda loose from the tooth so i can stick my finger in a little bit. i have tried brushing, mouthwash and gum but nothing seems to get rid of the smell, it has been there for quite awhile now and i don't know what is causing it. help?!

If I rub my finger in the gum area just above the crown, it smells really bad. I can even smell it in the floss after I have flossed the crown tooth. And the upper part of my front teeth is hurting sometimes (i meant the gum) and my front teeth bleeds easily. Pls help me about this.

I specifically asked my dentist if there could be a small gap which is causing this smell. But he says that the gap between the crown and gum is 3mm which is within acceptable limits. He said that the top of the root canal dosent look OK. But he said in that case the symtoms would be different. I have no pain or nothing and the smell comes only from the boundary between crown and gum and does not come from the top part of the gum. I have tried all mouthwashes but it dosent help.

My husbands was infected too we were both on clindamycin for seven more days and told to come back in seven days to see if the infection is down . The smell is bad and I have been doing oil pulling to help pull the pus /infection out.

And also this causes a slight bleeding in the morning while I brush and also sometimes during the day with just less than a drop of blood when I spit the saliva out. I also feel the blood taste and smell in the morning and also do I feel that I have got a bad breath due to this. I am gay and had unprotected sex and also tested for STD and HIV and results came back negative. When I read about the symptoms of some STDs it was mentioned that it could also harm the dental system.

A diabetic with blood sugar problems may smell like Juicy Fruit gum...Someone with a throat or lung infection may have horrid smelling breath..Someone with a yeast overgrowth will smell sour...Hopefully this helps...

After a few weeks of that, my gums bled and the taste problem began immediately. I went to a dentist first and he cleaned up the gum/root infection. That was over 10 weeks ago. I then went to an ENT and he did a CT scan that showed no "fissure". I have been on two anti-biotics, Amoxycillin and Clindamycin. I think the virus may be the cause. Is there a blood test to see if I could still have an infection that another antibiotic might work on?

I am concerned the tooth will collect bacteria and cause further problems (smell, infection, etc). We were planning on going back to the dentist today to complain but wanted some ammo from other experts - please help.

ive had viginal discharge since i can remember i finally plucked up the courage 2 go to the gum clinic wheres i was treated for a infection. i havnt had sex since but still have this discharge and smell wot could it be?

I had a gum infection about a month ago and the dentist put me on antibiotics and i took the full course. I thought that had got rid of the infection because i didn't have the vile taste in my mouth that i had. I worrying today because i can taste the taste i had when i had the infection. The other day i kissed and was intimate with a man and i thought it had cleared so i didn't worry about the infection that day.

Hi.I am aware that my wisdom tooth is being retained in the gum after I took an X ray, but after months, that area of my gum smells very bad whenever I push it with my finger or by chewing food on it. It also smells in the gap between the gum and the next tooth. I hate this and wanted to know if anyone has any suggestions to reduce this smell.

I decided to take matters into my hand and I yank the crown out. The smell that came out almost knock me out, but after brushing and rising the smell disappeared. But now my only problem is that I have a gap between tooth 4 and 6. That’s all right because now the dentist has no choice but to put a new one. There should be a guarantee on the workmanship and the product, heck we are paying over 700 dollars.

Ok first I want to start with I have had Chylmida if I spelled if rite well that's been treated and it is currently gone. so months later I had sex with this guy and he stuck it in pulled out in like 30 secs. then put a condom on and his penis smelt like fish or something ....well a week later ,.... also to add im on BC well a week later I got this brown discharge really thick and it smelled like garbge .

I know the smell is strong because people always touch their nose around me, put a piece of gum in their mouth, pretend to yawn to smell their breath to make sure the bad smell is not coming from their mouth, or offer me a piece of gum/mint when I talk to them, especially at work, when I help my customers. I've tried just about everything, even brushing my teeth does not help my problem, it makes it a little better, but the bad odor is still there.
