The food in your mouth is sitting too long and is exposed to the warmth and moisture your mouth provides. It is decomposing in your mouth that is why it smells and tastes bad. Brush and rinse thoroughly and make an appointment with the dentist to have the tooth fixed. It may turn in to a cavity as well.

Time to go to the dentist again!

That happened to me. The tooth had gotten a cavity in it after the root canal. I ended up having to have the tooth pulled out.

sounds like a stink tooth. you need to go back to the dentist

You need to go back to the dentist because you probablly have a cavity in it now. If I were you I would go soon so that it doesn't get searious.

Odor is never a good sign. If you've also had trouble with that tooth and never had it fixed, then you have an incomplete procedure, which will naturally be more susceptible to all kinds of issues (bacteria, food impaction, exposure). You need to call your dentist and get back in to have it looked at.
