Hello sir....
Your history seems that you are suffering from pericoronitis around your impacted wisdom teeth

An impacted teeth is one that fails to erupt in given time and space...
other complications of IMPACTED WISDOM TEETH:
**pain in the surdounding gums
**soreness of jaw
**Difficulty in mouth opening
**pushes the nearby teeth and cause dental crowding
**Decaying of adjacent teeth
**FOOD LODGEMENT UNDER THE INFLAMMED GUMS AND CAUSE BAD ODOUR..(which is your chief complaint)...
In concern with bleeding gums,
** if it is GENERALIZED,it ia due to your poor oral hygiene (soft and hatd deposits(plaque and calculus))
**If bleeding is from the wisdom teeth region it is due to pericoronitis...
GET X_RAY OF YOUR WISDOM TEETH DONE....
Next Steps
TREATMENT OF WISDOM TEETH:
** If it is fully erupted ,it can removed by simple extraction procedure....
**If it is impacted , you need surgical extraction followed by painkillers and antibiotics
As per your history,it seems You need surgical extraction of your wisdom teeth done...

Well, I am a MDS post graduate doctor as far I see your chief complaint you are most likely suffering from condition known as pericoronitis. Check whether the food lodgement is around the pocket formed in gums around the wisdom tooth.
Treatment - you should go for extraction of the wisdom tooth no matter how it is placed because wisdom tooth is of no use in eating ( masticulation) . I hope this answer your query . Thanks

For bleeding gums and bad breath you need to get scaling and polishing done from a dentist. Then Home maintainence with twice a day brushing and flossing is recommended. For wisdom tooth get an X-ray done. If it is not in a proper position it may require removal
