Bad smell coming fromnew tooth growth

Bad smell coming fromnew tooth growth

I am growing in a sixth wisdom tooth (yes a sixth they think I am getting in a full set making it eight). Where this one is growing in I have noticed it has a foul smell. I have found it has died down since I have been making a heavy effort to brush and floss it (went from brushing twice a day to three times and I floss it twice a day), but it is not going away. The gum is not discolored. You can see where the sixth tooth is coming in quite clearly with no extra pain, it just smells extremely bad. Any solution?

Continue your hygiene, try using a mouthwash or some warm salt water to rinse the area out.  You probably need to remove it if its proving to be difficult to maintain.
