Pus.
It's the delightful smell of pus-filled flesh.

The infection. I have the same problem. I floss the affected tooth as much as possible. And brush and suck mints to lose the rotten taste.
infection causes the tatste. Get back to the Doc for more antibiotics or repair
infection is seeping into your system it is poisoning your body and slowly killing you chew some gum rinse your mouth with Listerine or the generic equal at wall-mart
The tooth and surrounding gum tissue are beginning to rot, causing the odor.
Rinse your mouth with hot salt water ... the salt will reduce the swelling and the heat will help ease the discomfort of the infection. Place ice on the OUTSIDE of your face to give comfort at the jawline. Get a bottle of Listerine or the generic equivalent (just as good) and rinse often .. this will help kill the bacteria. Take a pain killer and anti-inflammatory like Aleve to dull the pain, and don't cancel your dental appointment when the symptoms subside, because they will come back!
what you are tasting is the infection[pus]if you rinse with salt water regularly[every 30 mins]it will help.good luck
infection stupid
or the dentist putting his special tool in ya mouth! again
Infection would be my best answer. I know that even if my daughter has a ear, nose or throat infection her breathe smells terrible. Also, a close friend of mine who gets frequent sinus infections says she can tell one is coming by the bad taste she gets in her mouth.
I will by no means say this is safe, so use at your own risk!!! I once stuffed a 1/4 of a acetememiphon in the hole (if there is one). Tasted horrible but seemed to work some. That or try tylenol then 2 hrs later ibuprofen. Alternate every two hours. My step-son did this after a tonsilectomy when his stomach could no longer handle Roxicet narcotic.
