I, too, had a problem with a crown that produced a foul smelling odor. When I told my dentist he told me that the crown was fine but I knew that it wasn't because people would step back when they talked to me. I went back to the dentist and insisted that he remove the crown because it was affecting me psychologically and it was. So, he did. The tooth had actually rotted underneath the crown so I had him to extract the tooth. Things were much better but now I have a cracked tooth with a filling and there is bacteria building up because that awful smell is back. My new dentist wants to put a crown on it but I won't let him because of the last incident. So I may have to let this tooth go as well.
