A member asked:
Is it normal to have a bad taste from the caries on my tooth?

Yes: Caries come from bacteria and if you have an abundant amount of infection in your mouth, you can have a bad taste in your mouth. After all your teeth are decaying.

Yes.: Decay (caries) is rotted tooth structure. As you can imagine, rotted anything will not smell good!
