Please visit the dentist you visited for extraction. Sometimes bad breath is not only associated with deep cavities but also with the deposits which occur as yellow deposits in between the teeth and gums. So kindly get a scaling done for your full mouth which would prevent this bad breath problem of yours.
Next Steps
Go for a full mouth cleaning

Bad breath happens because of variety of factors .
1. Dental reason - cavities, deposits or tarter on teeth surface etc.
2. Systemic factors - post nasal drip, diabetes etc
One need to think about systemic factors only if dental factors are absent.
So kindly visit dentist. He will be able to rule out all dental reasons which are responsible for causing bad breath.

Hello,
The smell you are talking about could be due to various reasons.
Sometimes the healing of the extraction socket takes time where there can be food lodgement which might be causing the smell.
Next Steps
Discuss with your dentist about it.
Also ask your dentist to provide information and instructions for proper oral hygiene measures.
Health Tips
Using mouth washes helps , but make sure not to use it for more than two weeks in one go .
