Can still having your wisdom teeth cause you to have bad breath?
If I get my wisdom teeth pulled, hopefully will my bad breath problem be gone by chance? I know a lot of food gets trapped down there and I can’t floss back there because they’re halfway out of my gums, plus I have like a flap over them where the food gets trapped under. I put my finger back there one time and smelled my finger, and I was like “Whew!”, i’m thinking I need to go ahead and get them taking out. I feel no pain from them but I think that’s the reason why my breath smells bad all the time. I keep mints on me. Do you think this is a good idea to go ahead and get them removed?
your bad breath should start to go away. but dont hold your breath(no pun intended) while you are healing the holes from your teeth are still bleeding causing you to smell horribly bad
pulling off your wisdom teeth necessarily does not takes off your bad breath. All you need to do is have a through oral examination and to identify the etiology for bad breath. So 1st get going to a dentist and get your mouth checked. Wisdom tooth alone cannot be a paroblem as such.
