hello doctormy age is 25 and i have a problem of impacted wisdom tooth.before a month had swelling and there was infection after taking some antibiotics it has reduced. but another problem is i have a problem of bad breath one of the dentist told me its probably due ti wisdom tooth. can it be the reason and if so wat is the treatment. i m also carrying this the 3 month.
HiT hank you for your query with Chat Doctor, As your dentist said it could be of the impacted tooth only. In impacted tooth if you have a periodontal flap present on the tooth then there will be collection of food debris and not easy to maintain it clean ultimately leads to bad breath. Another reason as you mentioned you had a swelling before then you might be having an infection too with abscess which is another reason. What ever I suggest you to visit your oral surgeon for the best treatment and I strictly advise not take medicines on your own without prescription. Hope my answer would be helpful.
