    If they smell or taste fowel then they more than likely either have an absess under them or they have come through rotton id take a trip to the dentist and get them checked.

    Be prepared to have them removed it doesn't hurt and I'm a lot happier without mine that's for sure no more headaches either.

    Mine did when they were impacted and absessed... next comes the pain. I had to have them removed immediately.

    Odors which come from teeth are the result of an infection.

    Of course the odors could also be the result of accumulated plaque!
