I have two crowns side by side. When I floss between those two crowns there is a bad odor. Dentist says it's what hapoens because of the material of the crowns I floss and Waterpik every single day. Brush at least 3 times per day. I have excellent oral hygiene and I can't stand this!!!!

Answer: Bad odor A bad odor between two crowns is definately not normal. It usually means that one or both of the crowns are leaking and bacteria is getting under the crown. The material that crowns are made of does not cause an odor. Bacteria cause odors. I suggest having a closer look taken of your crowns. It sounds like one or both may need replacement.

Answer: Crown issue The odor could be due to food impaction between the crowns. If the contact between the crowns is not tight enough, then food and bacteria can get trapped between the crowns and wedged in the gums. Another reason could be if the crowns are defective or have open margins, which could also cause food/bacterial accumulation. I would recommend talking to your dentist about the issue.
