Wisdom tooth gum smells bad but does my breathe?

[Chandlerchad]

i have one more wisdom tooth that needs to be pulled (others have) and has been half way up for months. When I touch the gum around the tooth and smell my finger, it smells bad. That being said, no other spots on my gums smell bad nor does my wrist after doing the wrist-dry-smell test.

I diligently brush twice a day, rinse with listerine about 6 times a day and shoot a syringe full of listerine into the gum.

Do you think that the smell of my gum makes my breathe smell bad? I am very self conscious. My tongue doesn’t smell bad but that gum constantly does!

Thank you, this was my first ever post on a forum btw
