Should I be concerned about a smell coming from the recently placed temporary crown for a dental implant?

May 31, 2018
Asked By:juliannacurtin in Summerville, SC

I got my dental implant uncovered and a temporary crown out on it about two weeks ago. Ever since I got it uncovered and the crown placed there is an odor all around the crown. There is no pain. I'm just wondering if the smell will go away? Is the smell present becuase it is healing or has something been done wrong? What can I do to get rid of the smell as soon as possible. Thanks!

Amber Garcia, DDS says:

The roots of the back teeth on the left side appear to be in close proximity to the sinus floor. The roots and restorations appear normal in the xray. Sometimes inflammation in the sinus can cause the teeth to hurt. But if you've already had 2 rounds of antibiotics, I'm not sure that's the...
