BAD BREATH FROM CROWN
Right now I am really aggravated because I have two crowns on the left side that came off today...and were
just reattached last week. Now I have a single crown on my right side that came off too....and, no, I did
not eat anything hard.
The one on the right smells totally horrible...this is one with the post sticking out....the two on my left
side that are attached DO NOT smell. I believe the right one smells because that crown has nothing
backing it up on its side...it is the last tooth in my mouth and nothing next to it...I am calling the
dentist tomorrow and going in. I know my insurance now does not cover NEW crowns...and these
are pretty old ones....SO I am wondering if there is something like a denture the dentist could give
me for the back of my mouth? All my front teeth are great..it is just the back where I have the crowns....

If would go to a Prosthodontist if I were you. They are specialists in doing crowns.
Might cost a little more, but it is worth it. I have two that I have to have replaced #18 and 19 due to a dentist putting them on incorrectly. NOt cheap let me tell you.
If you have a dental board in your state I would notify them if he doesn't fix them.

Yes, what you are looking for is called a partial denture because it only replaces the teeth you are missing.
