Hi,
Thanks for asking the query,
Yeah! there could be a bad smell in the mouth due to gum infection.
I would suggest you to get a thorough scaling and polishing done.
At home take lukewarm saline and antiseptic mouthwash rinses.
Maintain a good oral hygiene.
Take complete balanced diet and drink plenty of water.
Take care!
