pain under the crown

6 months ago I have got a dental bridge.One of the crowns has been placed on the wisdom teeth, that has been inclined. Even before I had the bridge done,the gum around the tooth has been inflammed. Ever since the crown came in, the inflammation has become stronger. Actually, the gum never fit well with the crown.

Two days ago, I woke up with the pain and the tooth is sensitive to touch. Before the crown, I had x-rays done and the roots have been perfectly healthy. The gum is bleeding and an unpleasant odour is spreading.  No hot/cold sensitivity and the oral hygene has been daily practiced (2-3x).

Is it up to the gum or the roots themselves ?

sounds to me like  #32 was in this case a bad choice for an abutment OR the case needed crown lengthenng (or maybe even uprighting) and it was not done.

I am not happy with either of those two symptoms so I would suggest an appointment with your doctor asap.
