I have a lower back th that has a filling
that has fallen out months ago and it
seems to be rotting away. The tooth has
"decayed", I suppose, at the gumline. I
have to take Oxycontin and Lyrica for my
spine so It isnt hurting, BUT I have a
weird taste in my mouth. Could this be
causing bad breath?

A rotten tooth can definitely cause bad
breath and you should see a dentist to
have it pulled asap before there is more
than just tooth decay.
