Bad smell and taste

[Leeroypenmut]

I had a tooth out 3 days ago and my face is still swollen and there is a bad taste and smell. I wash out my mouth every couple of hours with salty water. Is this normal?

Hi.

I'm not a dentist, but that doesn't sound normal to me. I'd call your dentist and ask about it just to be safe.

Hi leeroy,.Bad breath is occurs 2 days after a tooth is removed. This can be a sign of a dry socket, so consult with your dentist and this is normal. don't panic
