Infection is the main cause. Check it with a dentist.
Cavity, bad gums
It is probably from decay or some periodontal, gum tissue problem. Do not hesitate to have your dentist check this out ASAP for the appropriate treatment. Delaying treatment will only allow the problem to worsen!
Your tooth smells bad because of decay. You must see your dentist without delay.
Could be from decay,periodontal (gum imfection, or an abscess on the tooth. Have your dentist do an exam on the area
Malodor is most likely caused by caries (decay causing bacteria) or gum infection (gingivitis). If you can narrow the location of the bad smell to one specific area or tooth it should enable the dentist to locate it and offer you multiple solutions.
Teeth smell bad because of Bacteria. Same reason why we had bad breath. There is bacteria getting in or around the tooth. The most common cause is periodontal disease which is a gum tissue infection.
Gum problems or decay.
