I am currently 5 months pregnant. I have my teeth cleaned yesterday and for the past week or so I have been experiencing a foul taste coming from between two of my back teeth. The dentist did not say anything about it yesterday. The taste is terrible and when I floss between those two teeth it smells awful. What do I do?
Hello and welcome, Usually the foul taste occurs due to the pus or abscess associated with any teeth. Deep dental caries, periodontitis,peritonitis due to impacted wisdom teeth all these can cause pus accumulation and discharge. Since you are pregnant, your gums will be tender, soft causing gingivitis. So the abscess has to be diagnosed and curetted. Decayed teeth can be restored. If your wisdom teeth are erupting, and pus Chat Doctor.  Take warm saline Betadine rinse for temporary relief. Take care,
