I recently had a tooth removed, I am now suffering from bad breath any ideas:)

The site may be infected, rinse gently with some warm salt water.

You could have an infection in the area. If the bad breath is new you could have acquired a new bacteria that has formed in your mouth. One suggestion is don't use Scope or something like that. It has sugar in it that bacteria will feed on and make your breath worst. You could also try scraping your tongue when you brush your teeth. Something you could try is that breath Rx or ask your dentist for some kind of prescription.:D

I think you need to re-visit your dentist, it could be an infection in the tooth socket where the tooth was removed.
You may need it drained to draw out any puss that maybe in there... hence the smell, also a persciption for some anti-biotics to completely clear up the infection.

Make an appointment as soon as possible with your dentists.
