Yea, it causes your breath to stink; it harbors halitosis bacteria. If you happen to be looking for a good toothpaste, I really suggest Aquafresh Extreme Cleaning with Micro-Active Foaming. It's fun to use, and really does clean your teeth well!
And don't rely on mints, gum, or anything else to get rid of your bad breath; they only mask it. To really get rid of the germs that cause bad breath, use mouthwash, brush well, and floss well.
Here are some links to make sure you're going to make your dentist proud:

Yes, the plaque does smell!! This is what mostly contributes to bad breath. If you use floss and smell it after you use it (I know, gross) you can be sure you will not like what you smell. Flossing and brushing daily will help get rid of it.

Although many species of bacteria in the mouth do not cause disease, their metabolic activities can produce an odor. These bacteria reside on the mucous membrane and in the plaque. The odor may be from the fermentation of sugars in our diet that adhere to the teeth. These fermentation products have a foul smell and some contribute to tooth decay, as well.
So, keeping teeth clean goes a long way in keeping your breath from smelling offensive.

I skim read through that lol. But since I am not a dentist I dunno what it could be. You need to get your dentist to look at it during your next visit and explain it to him or her. Hope they can help you. If not, maybe going to a different dentist then you are used to about this matter may help? since they didnt seem to help u much. Try getting a mouthwash for pain (ask at a drugstore) or a toothpaste with aloe vera, that will help ease the pain. Drink lots of water and its very important that you get good vitamins and sleep well. Also, remember to brush with a non abrasive tooth bursh. And warm water and salt rinses. My parents SWEAR by it. it helps heal lol.Good luck

Yes!
FLOSS. Every time you brush. Crest Glide to Go is cheap, and easy to take with you every you have to go. No excuse to not floss. No, you're not too busy, and not too cool.
Use antiseptic mouthwash.
Breathe through your nose.
Use breath mints, but don't count on those alone to give you nice breath.
Number one is brush your TONGUE, especially the back, every time you brush your teeth, 3 times a day.
