What Causes Bleeding In Mouth Long After Tooth Surgery?
hello, I had 3 wisdom teeth and one bug jaw cyst removed 10 days ago, went to my follow up app on day 7, everything seamed to be fine.I have all along had a little bit of blood mixed with my saliva, but since yesterday the blood tastes and smells rotten, i know its not my breath or my whole mouth, just the blood.What could it be?

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The blood tinged saliva can be because of the trauma to the socket region while brushing or from food particles. The bad breath can be because of the food accumulation of the food particles in the socket region. Nothing to be panic, you can gargle with saline or take mouth wash 3-4times daily.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
