not a dental hygenist, but yes, cavities can. so can bad health and not eating!
a cavity that deep could definitely cause some problems. food and debris can become lodged in the cavity and in some cases, cause some mild bad breath. just avoid eating on the affected side of your mouth and use some hydrogen peroxide to clear things out of the cavity itself.
a cavity is essentally a part of your body that is "rotting" so yes it can cause bad breath, esp the bad ones.
yes, cavities can cause bad breath. since bad breath can be caused by different factors, you should be able to know first what is the underlying cause of your bad breath. note that bad breath treatments can depend on what is the cause of it.
bad breath cause maybe lack of oral hygiene, dry mouth, smoking, alcohol, medications, sinus, eating garlicky meal, gum disease and other stomach related health illness.
whatever the cause is, it is best that you consult a dentist to help you figure out the cause and to get the right treatment. good oral hygiene is always important to keep the mouth healthy, clean and fresh like proper brushing and flossing.
