Bad smell on gum.

Bad smell on gum.

I had a crown put in about 2 years ago. When first put in it was fine, but in the last 6 - 8 months there has been a bad smell (rotten order) coming from that specific area when I floss between the teeth or when I rub that area. Went to dentist and he says it is a gum problem and he gave me special tooth paste and told me to rinse out with salt water. It is not working. I want him to take it out and start over. What can I do?

You could see another dentist. It sounds like you might have some decay under the crown and this needs to be addressed.
