I had a crown put in 5 years ago after a root canal. The tooth/crown has always had a bit of space below it. Now, it often has stuff in the crack...that is very smelly. I am so sick of having to clean it out. I complained at my last appointment about the tooth again and he said that the gums have receeded and to solve the problem he can fill the space in with a filling. I am so frustrated because I am thinking this is just a temporary fix. I paid a lot of money for a crown that seems bad.
