Options For Dental Crown Not Fitting and Odor From Gum line?
sasieJan 5, 2012
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?
