Dentist,  's  Response
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
