Bad taste on partial plate

I have a partial plate that has 4 teeth on it. I clean it and brush my teeth twice a day. I soak it overnight in denture cleaner. But one and ONLY ONE of the four teeth has a bad taste that comes from it. What is causing this?

    It is possible that there is a slight infection in the root left from having that particular tooth pulled.  I would suggest putting about a teaspoon of coconut oil in your mouth and swishing for about a minute - spit, then rinse before putting your partial back in there.   Coconut oil is a natural antibiotic and it could solve your problem.
    I would be interested to know if it helps you.
Wishing you the best.   P.S.  Drinking the coconut oil won't hurt you...
