Foul smell

[Nathan666363]

A couple months ago I started feeling severe pain in one of my teeth. That tooth happened to be very cracked and in bad shape. It oozed what I assumed was pus frequently until it just stopped. I feel nothing in the tooth. Since then the tooth has shattered and I've picked out most of the shards from my gums. But when I place my tongue over that spot I still get a foul taste in my mouth. I've rubbed tooth picks over the spot and the smell is unbelievably terrible. No matter how often I brush the smell does not come out. Does anyone know what may have happened? Also is there anyway I can kill the source of the smell?

Its a possibility, if an infection isn't controlled.
Why won't you see a dentist?
