[quote="sopo"]Thanks for the the reply Amro.. I have to ask u one more thing u mentioned u got rid of ur bad breath for the first time when u got ur crown removed. How did u come to know crown was causing the problem did u take any x ray? Was it only the crown that was removed or u got ur tooth extracted? I have a crown and its like 8 years old.[/quote
I got 5 xrays for my crowns, all of the dentists ( 6 dentists ) denied the idea that my crowns are cuasing any problems, however, when I flossed them with tooth pick they smell ! The smell was very very light that I believed the dentitsts form months , but they all were dead wrong !!! I felt the crowns were causing the halitosis, I got my first crown removed after 30 mins of digging and the crown broke into 2 halfs a really bad smell radiated out and the crown from inside smelled bad ! I got my other crown removed and bad breath gone ! I would say90% gone at that point I still had my wisdom teeth. but they were not inflamed, and they were not causing sever bad breath. So I was able to live with it.
My crown were only 2 years old mad with best material, was porcelain fused to metal, each cost around 1.5k total of 3k, If you crowns ever smell when you floss the gum around them ( floss or bleed) I assure you 100% your crowns causing your halitosis.
when my wisdom teeth got inflamed erupted more they caused bad breath ( I am only 21) so I am still during the process of having wisdom teeth coming,
summery, if your crowns smell when flossed get them removed , if you wisdom tooth partially off ( partially up through gums) get it removed. you can try water pik for wisdom tooth might help, but with crowns nothing helped expect removing them because the smell was under the crown and the crowns were strongly cemented.
By the way xrays do not show crown leaks, or Bactria under the crowns, my crown looked completely normal with x rays.
When did your bad breath started ?
