My temporary crown smells!

My temporary crown smells!

I can't seem to get an answer on weather or not this is normal.  The long and short of it is that my temporary crown smells badly.  If I wiggle the temp a little and place my tongue on the gumline, I can taste the bad stuff from in there.  Is this normal?  I've had the temp for about 3 weeks. I rinse with Listerine and brush about 3 or 4 times a day.  Can I remove this thing and clean under it? I have the paste stuff to put it back on , but will this be extremely painful?

Seeing your restorarive dentist is advised.

Taking the temporary crown off yourself wouldn't be advisable.  You also shouldn't be in the temporary for longer than 3 weeks.  The taste and smell could be due to the temporary being improperly seated or it has become loose and "stuff" is getting up underneath there.  See your dentist soon!
