Answers:
It sounds like you have an anaerobic infection. (bugs that don't need air). They produce sulfur as a waste product. Do you have wisdom teeth that are half way in.? That is a favorite spot for these buggies to set up shop.
So, its not like you have this infection like a strep throat or something. Anaerobes are always around looking for a place to hang. If you really work that area and keep the buggies from nesting, you will defeat their settling there.
If you can't resolve this with flossing or using an interproximal brush, see your hygienist and get a cleaning. You want to be able to keep the area clean and free from the infection.Health Question & Answer

Some times I have the same problem. I asked my dentist and he said it was caused by meat getting stuck in my teeth.
I try to floss soon after I eat meat or stringy foods and every once in a while rinse with hydrogen peroxide(it also helps whiten.) There are normally instructions using it as a rinse on the side of the bottle.Health Question & Answer
