Suggest treatment for bad mouth odor post tooth extraction
Patient: I had my tooth extracted out last Wednesday but to the disappointment it snapped of and the dentist then had to give up after spend on 1 hour trying to remove it. just the root Is now left , went back the next day for a clove paste appiled as in a lot of pain  , have to wait 4 weeks to be referred to hospital but it's there anyway of getting this disgusting smell and taste away in the mean time. Doctor: Hello,As per your query you have symptoms of bad mouth odor post tooth extraction which occurs because of the persistence of tooth infection leading to facial space infection.Need not to worry. I would suggest you visit an oral surgeon once and get a complete examination done. You should take the proper course of antibiotics and get the dental procedure done.Do warm saline gargles and chew on sugar-free candies to stimulate salivary flow. Maintain complete oral hygiene by use of an antimicrobial agent. Keep applying ice packs on jawline on a daily basis.Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.Regards,Dr. Harry Maheshwari
