Smelly gums: Poor oral hygiene, un-removed calculus and plaque, periodontal gum disease, infections, abscess, tooth decay, etc. See a dentist, find out for sure, get proper dental treatment, be healthier.

See a dentist ASAP: Bleeding, bad breath and swollen gums can be a sign that you are at risk for, or already have, advanced gum disease. Untreated gingivitis and broken tooth can lead to the tooth loss and other health problems. See your dentist ASAP because the sooner you treat it the better the outcome.
