Yes, or no. It depends. If the site has gotten infected and had dry socket, yes, you will definitely have an odor. But sometimes during the healing stage, there can be food debris in the site and suture area, so there could be some odor as well.
Usually bad breath is the sign of infection and should be checked out by your dentist
Yes, it is while the extraction site is healing. If it continues after 3 days, contact your dentist.

Yes it is normal, and as the extraction site heals the bad breath will also go away.
Sure.
The socket is filled with healing and most often some percentage of granulation tissue. The socket needs to be gently cleansed and the smell and taste will dissipate with time.

It is perfectly normal to notice an odor after a tooth extraction. It can last 3 days to a few weeks depending on your body's healing time.
The wound is healing in your mouth, yes.
Absolutely normal! Give your body some time for the wounds to heal up. It will normalize.

Hello,
Sorry to hear about your extraction issue. It is not uncommon to have bad breath after an extraction, but there could also be an infection. It could also be a symptom of dry socket. You should call the doctor that extracted your tooth to talk to him/her and possibly go in to have them evaluate it.
Hope it gets better for you soon!

Not too much. If that's the case, there may be a problem with a "dry socket."
Hi.
It is not normal. Maybe you have a dry socket.
