What Is Dry Socket?
4. Bad Breath
If we don’t clean our teeth regularly then our breath will soon begin to taste bad. This is because food particles will begin to decay, and bacteria in the mouth will accumulate, releasing more and more waste product.
The nature of the condition means that it can be very difficult to get the mouth thoroughly clean, and food particles can begin to accumulate in the mouth. Even if the patient does manage to thoroughly clean their mouth, the socket will soon begin harboring odor-producing bacteria again. In addition to bad breath, the patient can also find that they have an unpleasant taste in their mouth.
