I have bad breath after wisdom tooth extraction, what to do?
9 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Rinse: After wisdom teeth extraction sometimes food accumulates in the sockets and causes bad breath.The easiest solution for this problem is to rinse with a combination of half and half 3% hydrogen peroxide sold over the counter at any drug store or supermarket and 1/2 mouth wash. Make a bottle of this solution and rinse 3-4 times a day especially after meals and your breath will improve tremendously.

Very common: After you have a wisdom tooth removed, you are more susceptible to getting a bacteria or an infection, which can cause bad breath. It is temporary and will improve as you heal. Keep a good oral hygiene.
