Change routine: Get your teeth professionally cleaned by your Dentist to create a base line. Make sure to floss or Water Pik daily. Brush at lease 2x/day 2 FULL minutes by the clock. Brush last thing before bed. Brush upon awakening (before eating/drinking) to remove bacteria. Also gently brush top of tongue. If eggy taste persists have your physician check for GERD, medication side effects, diet, etc.

My tooth smells really bad. My upper back left tooth smells really bad and leaves horrible taste in my mouth. It makes my breath smell bad too. When i floss i can smell it right away. After i brush it covers up the smell but it comes right back.

My breath smells like poop. My dentist & hygienist says my mouth/teeth/gums are in perfect shape. I brush/floss/tongue scrape/mouthwash rinse 4 times a day. I have not been drinking a lot of water which has me constipated, can that be the cause?
