Gum disease:
I don't see it mentioned on here a lot as a factor, but I'll tell my story here.
I recently discovered that I had gum disease and my dentist suggested deep cleaning. Wow it actually worked better than I thought. I don't have the fecal smell in my saliva anymore and my gum doesn't bleed so easily when I floss nor is there an awful smell in the usual places that I used to floss. It's only a few days since and I felt the bad odor that I usually get is gone. However, a strange odor is now present that doesn't stink to me, but seem to be offensive to others.
The question is what? I know that the bacteria associated with gum disease are in between my teeth and produce acid which may be what I normally smell, but why is there still a smell that I can't detect? my tongue still turns white and all. Also, have everyone here made sure that they do not have gum disease whatsoever? Thanks for answering my questions.
