I've had two root canals (top left molars) along with ceramic caps fitted. I've been experiencing sever halitosis from this region. Every time I floss this area, the floss smells horrible. This happens even after I've flossed, brushed and rinsed my mouth with various mouthwashes. I've been to two other dentists who've both said that nothing is wrong. One suggested using something called "Micro-floss". I need to desperately get rid of this problem as I'm starting my new job in two week's time.

All porcelain crowns are bonded to your tooth using a resin cement. Once these crowns are bonded the margins should be very smooth and virtually undetectable. If you are feeling something there it may simply be excess cement that needs polishing. Hope this helps.
Short answer: yes. simply express your concern to your dentist. hopefully you could afford to chose a cosmetic dentist specially hen it is your front teeth that you are restoring.
Placing a filling is a temporary fix and you may be hiding and masking problems such as decay under the crown. If food gets impacted, so does bacteria and since your tooth is root canalled you have no sensation to warn you about any issues.
