Question: After a tooth is taken out is the whole where the tooth use to be suppose to smell.? its making my breath stink.?
Answers:
Once the tooth has gone the wound has to heal. The breath problems are the result of the blood and tissue covering the healing area breaking down. It will get less as the healing finishes. But as it's in a wet area of the body it will take longer than say a cut on your arm or foot.Health Question & Answer
Salt is a natural anti septic Mix half a spoonful in boiled water. leave to cool and then rinse thoroughly. Cheaper than mouth washes and it works. The smell is from natural bacteria in the congealed blood. Should have cleared up in a couple of days.Health Question & Answer
