SWR: Kind gross problem I am having...

I had all 4 pulled in January, and I never had a smell.

The oral surgeon told me that a smell is usually a sign of infection. Please go get it checked out!!!

SWR: Kind gross problem I am having...

as some of you know, I had my wisdom tooth pulled out last week, well ANYWAY..... I have this really funny taste in my mouth, and my breath smells 'like rotting tooth' (according to FH) 'Like moth balls' (one of the kids I babysit) 'bad' (another kid I baby sit) and 'sick smelling' my mom. I know my shower is some time this month and I am just nervouse that my mouth will still be in this state. Does anyone know when my breath will return to it's former state? So gross... I know...

TIA
well i am a nurse, and the smell is probably from blood in ur mouth,, and ur mouth is hot dont forget soo heat and moisture sometimes make a unpleasant odor, but it should stop in a week or two from the actually pulling, now if it doesnt go back to the dentist b/c u might have an infection.. FM if u want to talk
