My left upper corner gums smells really bad and i can't talk closely with anyone. what could this be?

ANUG: Acute necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis will cause the tip of your gum to necrose. Bleeding in the area will produce variable sulfur compound (vsc) and producing halitosis (bad breath). Schedule an exam with your dentist.

Halitosis: When was your last dental checkup and cleaning.. Your symptoms are indicative of periodontitis or a really deep cavity. Failure to treat this can result in the loss of your teeth and i know that's not what you want. Call a dentist asap. This cannot be treated remotely or at home.
