Will The Removal Of Irregular Teeth Dissipate Bad Smell?

#5 biscupid tooth split and inner portion is very "wiggly", I have a dental app set for July 2nd. By pulling the wiggly portion out will the bad smell dissipate and will it increase the chance of infection or additional pain? Currently rinsing 8 times aday with salt water.

Hi..
Can understand your concern..

As per your complain in case if your tooth is split into two parts and you already have bad smell it indicates that the tooth is already infected as the bad smell occurs due to rotten tooth which occurs due to infection..

You are about to consult a dentist and the dentist can take an x Ray of the tooth and rule out the possibility of saving or extracting the tooth..

In case if the tooth is not completely cracked and some part can be saved then Root canal treatment followed by capping can help..

In case if the tooth has split through and through in two parts then extraction has to be done..

Rinsing 8 times is not advisable and you should not rinse more than 3 to 4 times maximum..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards..
