Why would i have bad breath and ooze in the mornings after wisdom tooth removed?

Healing: You would have some oozing and bad breath while your tissues heal after surgery. The sockets remaining where your wisdom teeth one were are holes. Food and bacteria can fall into those holes, causing bad breath and oozing. If there is a lot of pain, you may be experiencing dry socket, infection of the bone, so you should return to your surgeon for evaluation.

Many reasons: Overnight, you probably had saliva, blood and food sitting in the extraction sockets. This can cause bad breath. Rinse with warm salt water and this will help the bad breath.
