I have had the crown only a week and after brushing my teeth before bed, I wake up with a nasty mouth in the night. It seems to get more pronounced as the days go by. I feel a coating on my teeth and gums on the cheek side. I have maintained daily brushing, routine dental cleanings, and this is not my first crown. I did not have this problem with the others. I am 61 years old, have problems with cracked teeth (reason for crowns), and am lactose intolerant.

Yes, Sometimes disinfecting solutions or cleaning agents are applied to teeth prior to cementation of crowns to prevent sensitivity or to remove any residual debris
Hi:You can always get minor adjustment done with crowns. It's best to go back to your dentist and share your concern about the shape of the crowns. Best,Dr. Maddahi
