Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The detached gums could be because of the gum infection.
The white smelly substance is nothing but the pus discharge secondary to the gum infection.
Consult a oral physician and get yourself examined to rule out gum infection and tooth infection. You have to take radiographs like RVG and OPG to check the amount of supporting bone remaining. For the gum infection you can take a course of antibiotics like tablet doxycycline 100mg twice daily on first day and once daily on next 4 days(if you are not allergic). After taking medicines get your teeth cleaned once.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
