A member asked:
Is it normal for my breath to smell after an extraction even though there is no pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Malodor: Yes. The tissue is healing and certain microbes associated with trauma and healing may contribute to the odor. As long as it does not get worse or persists you should be O.K.
