Crown odor
I have a crown in my front teeth. Recently I noticed bad breath. After a while I figured out that the source of the abad breath was the gum area right above the crown. If I rub my finger in the gum area just above the crown, it smells really bad. I can even smell it in the floss after I have flossed the crown tooth. And the upper part of my front teeth is hurting sometimes (i meant the gum) and my front teeth bleeds easily. Pls help me about this.
You need to get in to see your dentist. It sounds like you may have decay under the crown, and possibly an infection.
Is it okay to go to different dentist? Bcoz my dentist is in the Philippines and im in the US now.
Yes, you can go to any dentist you want and they will check your tooth to see what's going on. It would be a good idea to get in as soon as you can because the possibility of infection.
