2 wisdom teeth growing, weird taste?

i don't have dental insurance so i can't go see a dentist AT ALL.... ...but i have a wisdom teeth growing on each side. it doesnt hurt, but around that area, it has a weird taste/foul smell. i know it's not gingivitus cause i brush my teeth usually twice a day and floss. it that normal to have that smell? what can i do to get rid of the smell?
--------------------
If it's a tangy metallic taste, it's probably blood. This should stop when the teeth are fully erupted. A foul nasty taste (like moldy bread, only worse) is pus, indicating an infection. This could result from sub-gingival impaction - a condition more common if your wisdom teeth are coming in late.
