I had my left upper wisdom teeth extracted just over a month ago. The wounds seem to be almost fully healed, but a truly awful odour is coming from my nose. The more deeply I inhale, the stronger the smell. Plus my saliva sometimes is brown but my oral surgeon said its normal. Please help out
Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. UNDERSTANDING YOUR CONCERN. As per your query Bad breath after wisdom tooth removal is because of poor oral hygiene of oral cavity. After extraction due to naked socket, poor oral hygiene and pain you did not brush properly in oral cavity area due to which bacteria accumulate in oral cavity and continued accumulation leads to halitosis. Brown discharge of saliva is because of old blood clot. Need not panic about that. I would suggest you to maintain proper oral hygiene by brushing, flossing. Use antiseptic mouth wash on daily basis. Do warm saline rinses several times a day. Eat from the extraction site and try to eat crunchy food mainly. Take salivary stimulants such as sugar-free chew gums. Use disposable pipes to Chat Doctor.  Visit dentist once if your symptoms did not resolve in 3-4 days. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get well Soon. Best Wishes,
