There : There are definitely ways and techniques to perform this. I am hoping you are under the care of an ENT physician or a surgical oncologist. It is stressful to have a situation like this, but i assure you this can be taken care of. There is cautery, surgical resection, and other methods to solve your problem. Please be sure you have seen a specialist and have this taken care of.

I am not sure, what kind of bad breath I am having, even not sure, I am having or not. I had, due to decay tooth. I removed it. But now when I rub my gums with finger It smells bad. Not sure, is it only coming from mouth or also nose. Hard to explain?
