i have wisdom tooth that when i apply pressure it releases smelly pus. brushing, rinsing, flossing etc doesnt help. it causes very smelly breath. dentist says wisdom tooth needs to come out. i dont see why as there is no pain? is there anything else i can do?
Hello, Pus and foul smell indicates an infection. The Chat Doctor.  Infections can change to an acute stage quickly, and you can be swollen with much pain as a result. I suggest follow the advice of your dentist! Rinse the area and try not to let any debris get caught around the wisdom tooth. A prescription for an antibiotic may help control or limit the spread of the infection, but treat the source with removal soon. Thank you for your inquiry.
