Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of discoloured tooth with bad odour and pain which seems to be due to presence and persistence of infection and discoloration is due to devitalization of tooth. You should visit dentist as soon as possible. Doctor will properly examine the tooth and treat it accordingly. Doctor will take an periapical X-ray of tooth.
