Smell from 3 year old dental implant - no infection. What can cause this?

January 9, 2025
Asked By:chipwilliam in Delray Beach, Florida

I had a single implant done 3yrs ago and for the last 3 months I have had a horrible smell at the gumline. I have excellent oral hygiene and see a hygienist every 6 months . I also saw a dentist to get it looked at and xray showed no infection. I don’t know what else to do. Any advice would be so helpful .
