puss from around crowns

by KatyR, Apr 09, 2008 12:03AM
I got 4 leaky crowns replaced on my front top teeth about 6 months ago.  Since then white puss and foul odor has been coming from beneath my gums where my new crowns are.  There is absolutely no pain involved with this.  My dentist has done x-rays and cleaning, and inspected my gums well, but said the x-rays looked fine and my gums look healthy.  She cannot find a problem.  Do you have any idea what may be going on?  I was simply told to quit applying pressure to it.

Something is wrong with tooth structure or periodontal tissue. Seeing another dentist for second opinion is advised.
