    Default Got my tooth pulled 3 days ago, now my mouth smells and tastes like...

    ...Hot ass in July. Has anyone else experienced this after getting a tooth extracted?? If so, how long does it take to go away??I've cared for the site carefully per the dentist's instructions...I'm brushing, flossing, even gargling tea tree oil and taking echinacea for a natural antibiotic effect several times a day, alas the funk lingers. There's no pain, so that rules out the whole 'dry socket' phenom. I'm chalking the odor up to the natural healing process at this point. Still, I can't stand the thought of going to work tomorrow, trying to hustle guys for dances with poo poo whispers

    lol @ "poo poo whispers " and "hot ass in july" ....omg hilarious.

    ok, your gonna have to let that do it's healthing thing. it's a open wound right now, once it closes up and heals the smell with go away, just think, u've had a tooth there ur whole life chomping on food, getting food stuck in it.

    as for work, i'd buy a couple packs of listerene strips....should do the trick....literally...jk

    that doesn't sound normal , i'd call your dr to see what 's goin on. It shouldn't smell bad unless it's infected, does it hurt?

    a little mouth gargle with Epsom's salt should work, might sting a little - plus if it's sore it will take the soreness out.

    i used to be a dental assistant, believe me, it's normal. you should be rinsing atleast 3 times a day with warm salt water, if he didn't tell you that, do it. and it will go away, once the hole is closed up. as long as it doesnt hurt, you are ok. minus the poo poo whispers...but u can control that with some tic tacs. lol good luck
