Wisdom Tooth pulled, Tooth socket now has bad odor and taste

All four at once????
That's suicide.
Even two teeth at once seems too much cos you have to rely on the other side of the mouth to chew

Okay will do

I'm grateful for all the help I got from the net just researching "wisdom tooth extraction" lol. So I'm paying it forward by giving my two cents. First week after extraction i went through the most horrible pain imaginable. I know because I didn't take pain killers all the time. I wanted to gauge my progress through diminishing pain. It's been around 12 days since then and the pain has gone down but not totally. Half my face, nose, lips, brain, throat all hurt. Bad taste and bad smell at the site of extraction all throughout. I was careful not to rinse as much or touch the site because I didn't want to dislodge the blood clot. However I can't take this slow healing pace anymore so I used a syringe to flush the hole. Guess what. Some rotting debris fell out. Almost immediately bad smell disappeared. Gargled with betadine oral right after. Feel better too. I counsel everyone reading this to irrigate the hole after ten days. Or 5 if it suits you. Imagine if the hole closed up with all the rotting stuff inside. Btw, dentist said my third molar was particularly fat and large, hence the hole unusually big as well.

I got my 4 impacted wisdom teeth taken out 5 days ago. For the first few days, I experienced swelling only on one side which subsided quickly, and other than that I had no complications with bleeding or pain. However, two days ago I developed serious foul breath accompanied by an unbearable odor to match it. When I visited my dentist, he syringed it with mouthwash and an absurd amount
of food particles were released from the side I had the swelling on. Since then, I have syringed twice a day and the odor has become less and less intense, as well as the taste only being occasionally present. While all along I have swished with salt water, syringing even with just water makes a huge difference. In addition, something as simple as sucking on a mint really helps relieve the awful taste. My dentist hadn't mentioned anything about hydrogen peroxide, so I am steering clear of that, but I am hoping the odor and taste disappears completely within the next few days, as my stitches are out and the swelling is gone.

Go to a dentist

My tooth has a horrible smell & taste when i look at it it has yellow stuff in it i flush it out but it seems to come back, is this what you had ? My denist is closed tell tommarow or else id call them. Its been this way sence the day after the pulled it 3 days ago.

I am currently have the the same problem on the same side. How do you fix it

By reading this I have come to realize you are the smartest, most grammatically correct 13 year old I have ever not met.

There are doctors & dentists in most towns that adjust your fee based on your income & you can make payments. Don't try to pull it yourself, it could break off then you'll really be in pain!

I had a cavity eating away part of my tooth. Got a filling and all those symptoms you described went away.

I was having this same problem just today but then I took a swing of water and I felt something like almost pop out of my tooth hole and it was a bundle of stitches that were like half disintegrated and it seriously smelled RANK. Hope this helps someone else in the future lol btw I don't have dry sockets and it's my 6th day of recovery.

I had my wisdom teeth pulled and 2 others I needed pulled.. And there was this bad smell lingering for weeks afterwards. The thing was though.. Only I could smell it. It wasn't like I had bad breath or something that was exuding from my mouth. It was literally a weird but gross smell that only I could smell and it would happen so randomly that I began to wonder if it wasn't even in my mouth at all And like.. Something I had in my room or what have you. Until I realized id smell it in the car and what not.. But again.. It would pop-up so randomly and was only able to be smelled by me. I did some googling and saw that it could have been something in my sinuses? Like.. When I got my teeth pulled something had wandered up into my sinuses and made its home there.. Causing me to be the only one who could smell it and having it last longer than it should. And I mean WELL after the site itself had healed and whatnot. But the other thing is that I didn't have any kind of infection. I DID have a CRAZY amount of NOT AT ALL NORMAL pain though. This pain landed me in the ER about 4 times after getting my teeth pulled it was SO bad.But every time I went both to the ER and back to my oral surgeon when I was finally able to.. They both told me there was 1. No dry socket and 2. No infection of any kind. I hadn't mentioned the smell to them.. Unfortunately I had just completely forgotten about it when I was there.. Because I was there for the pain and the pain was really just UNBEARABLE. I mean.. ABSOLUTELY the worst pain id EVER felt in my life. The doctor kept telling me that it was equivalent to me having broken 6 bones so the pain would be bad but.. I mean my father has literally had every tooth in his mouth pulled (he now has dentures) but They started getting pulled at a young age.. So he was VERY used to the process and he himself said he never experienced anything like that. Not to mention the one side of my mouth.. Where I only had 2 wisdom teeth pulled.. Was completely FINE! I mean.. Even the VERY DAY after the surgery..I felt 0 pain and there was 0 swelling. But the other side where the 4 teeth had been pulled (by the way my two normal teeth that had come out.. Rotted due to my wisdom teeth rotting.. They passed it on. And I had waited until I was 28 to get my wisdom teeth out and my dentist was DAMN SURE to lecture me about it.) but even the swelling was unlike anything anyone had ever seen before. Even I thought it was odd and I had only ever seen one other person with wisdom tooth swelling and his cheek was PUFFY.. but I mean MINE LITERALLY looked like I was just a completely different person. Like an entire pound of fat was added to the left side of my face.

Its been about a month now since my teeth came out and everything is fine.. I do still occasionally get a weird waft of that smell but not like it used to be. And the pain, THANK GOD, finally went away completely.. Because even the narcotic pain killers they were giving me did NOTHING.. And they gave me like 3 shots of morphine in the ER.. the doctor THERE was even amazed that it didN'T help.. and I could tell by the face he made when he asked if I was feeling better.. To which I replied no I STILL feel the pain. and he made that face and just said "oh well yea I mean.. It may not help with the pain but at least it will help you sleep".. (I had gone there at 3am) I was just thinking like..yea ok buddy.. I know what morphine is and what its for and that ain't sleep but OK. Then he prescribed me dilaudid which I know is a SUPER strong opiate based pain killer.. From all of my addict friends who've talked about the stuff nonstop. But. I mean has ANYONE here had similar experiences? I just still don't have any answers as to why that happened.. And it terrifies me to have to to back to the dentist for anymore surgeries or even just fillings.

My doctor did not use any stitches after removing my bottom wisdom tooth. Is that all right? I also have a bad taste in my mouth, but no pain.

Everything is tasting bad since having a tooth pulled out. The dentist used clove oil, and now everything taste bad. What would cause that? Is that normal?
