Is is normal to have different and bad breath after teeth extraction?

My husband had four wisdom teeth pulled 4 months ago and I have noticed that his breath is very different and quite bad. I was wondering if that is normal, or could it mean something is wrong? I would also like to know if there is anything he can do about it, although he does not notice any difference.
My husband has always had what I consider to be rather bad oral hygeine habits, so I am not sure if this is contributing to the problem. He usually only brushes his teeth once a day, and for only about 30 seconds. He does not complain of any pain or tenderness and doesn’t seem to have any other symptoms.

that is not normal…. he may have something going on.
He can try to rinse with 1 part hydrogen peroxide and 3 parts warm water,then rinse well with water.Then mouth wash after..DO NOT swollow the peroxide sollution.
He could also try rinsing with warm water(4-6oz.) and 1 teaspoon of table salt.Rinse with mouthwash after.
If he has any tenderness,he may have a small sliver of tooth that remained,it could be popping up & down,causing just enough to allow an infection..he could also have some gum disease starting
Best bet is to see the dentist about it.
If it is from for months ago… better see a dentist. Your guess is correct.. something to worry about.
well you said it yourself, he doesn’t have good oral hygene habits so there you go. Does he floss, brush his tongue, use mouthwash. Try starting here and get him to brush longer than 30 seconds unless he doesn’t mind getting thousand of dollars worth of dental work done.
