Options For Dental Crown Not Fitting and Odor From Gum line?

Hi, I have a dental crown and a bad smell is coming from the gumline around the crown. When I rub the crown with my finger I found out that the crown is not fitting properly.It is smaller that the tooth below it, so I can easily touch the tooth edges.The doctor tried to make new crown but the problem persist,the tooth is too much under the gumline, so the impression is never the right one. Please, tell me what should I do next? The doctor offer me to polich the edges. Is it the only way?

A: Gum irritation from poorly fitting crown A great fitting Crown can only result from an accurate and detailed Impression. From your clinical description it sounds like you would benefit from some type of gingival ir Gum Recontouring procedure. Such a procedure by way of soft tissue laser or by conventional means would allow for an accurate impression and a well fitting and COMFFORTABLE Crown! The odor that you describe comes from to a great degree from the Dental Cement washing out or becoming contaminated from persistant bacterial invasion simply due to the Crown fitting poorly around the tooth. A Healthy Gum or Gingival environment will facilitate agood impression as well as a successful and clean cementation of your new Crown. Good Luck!

Can I Use Someone else Fat for the Brazilian Butt Lift?

I'm slim and petite, and I have a small butt but i want a Brazilian butt lift . i wanted to know if i can use someone else fat such as family or a friend?

A: Brazilian Butt lift fat from elsewhere?

Only your own fat can be used, only if you had an identical twin.  If you don't have fat I have had good results with implants.  Once healed the benefit is if you gain or loose weight the implant dosen't change.

What Options are there for Fixing Split Earlobe?

Earlobe split

A: torn earlobe easily fixed

A torn earlobe can be easily fixed under local anesthesia.  I have had patients do this during their lunch time and gone back to work.  I recommend waiting 6 weeks before the ear is pierced again
