My wisdom tooth smells?

[staceebabee]

My wisdom tooth is coming through, it has been coming through for at least 6 months, it is only half out and its giving me bad breath. it has a foul smell and when i brush my teeth i have a nice fresh taste for about 10mins before the bad taste takes over. the smell is definatly coming from my wisom tooth, if i put my finger on it an smell it it has a really foul smell.

For starters there is something wrong with your wisdom tooth  because it doesn't take that long for them to come up all the way. Once it breaks through the gums they come up in days like practically over night. The Smell is probably from and infection. Chances are you have an infection in your gums caused by tooth.
I suggest that you go to the dentist to check it out and more than likely he/she will also want to extract the tooth. Most people like myself once the wisdom teeth start breaking through the gums we get them extratced because they cause nothing but problems and get pulled out anyway. So please see the dentist because if you have an infection and it is not taken care of properly you can cause alot of probelms and especially with your sinuses.
