I've been diagnosed with resorbtion (sp?) in one of my front teeth.&nbsp; The gum over it smells like poop.&nbsp; No other areas of my gum smells like that.&nbsp; Dentist is pulling the tooth today!&nbsp; Scared - opinions?&nbsp;

All the best, things will get better. Tooth decay causes smelly gums and teeth. Use mouthwash more often.
