I need to remove my tooth to stop badbreath but no UK dentist will do it! (part 1)

Hello,
I have a small part of my gum in between and around my last 2 teeth permanently irritated and with a burning sensation as if there's puss coming out of there.The smell is horrible!
At first it was between two different teeth and after seeing over 5 dentists here in the UK with no success, one of them finally agreed to remove one of the tooth so as to get to the problem and treat it more effectively. Instead the problem shifted to between the next two teeth! And no dentist has been able to eliminate it. They've taken xrays of the area, probed, referred me to consultants and a dental hospital but none has been able to cure it. T
hey've eliminated pockets or anything else and insisted nothing's wrong! (One thing though, when the tooth was taken out, the wound had some little trouble healing and it had a white coating which i presumed and still presume was puss or bacteria which same bacteria shifted. But no dentist will listen to my version).
I've had this problem for over 10 years and has got very worse in recent years. I've seen dentist after dentist here in UK and spent lots and lots of money. I've bought 'bad breath cures' over the internet but all in vain.
All I want right now is to have a dentist that will listen to me and accept to remove the next tooth and then concentrate on killing off that bacteria before it shifts again. Am no dentist but I don't feel I have any other options but to rely on my own understanding. But no dentist here will accept and it's very annoying because it is my teeth and modern dentistry has no cure for me!
Worse still, my saliva is acidic coz everytime I swallow saliva I get stomach pains or burning sensation. Am even now considering travelling abroad maybe India or Africa, they might be more willing to listen.
Right now am so depressed. Can't date or socialise or do anything normal people do! I just have to eat any food with a smell and that's it.
Please help.
