They all need cleaning periodically.

Fill the sink to capacity, and whill it's filling dump in a small box of
baking soda.

Leave the water running, turn on the disposer, then pull the drain plug.

At least one manufacturer recommends this method, and I've found that it
really works.

If the "rubber finger" flange in the opening is removable, remove it and
give it a good scrubbing underneath.
