Avatar m tn i am having a problem with a bad breath. i don't know actually if the bad odor is come from my mouth or from inside my nose. every time i exhale, it releases unpleasant odor. but i don't feel anything inside my nose. would you please help me. i could hardly get with my friends because of this problem.
Avatar n tn t forget that a dry mouth or a low saliva rate could also cause lots of issues when it comes to bad breath,and using mouth rinses that contain alcohol is only going to aggravate the condition. For those of you that have bad breath from a bad fitting crown(or for anybody in general that suffers from this problem)I HIGHLY recommend "Therabreath",this stuff works wonders. It's a paste/rinse system and It will rid you of foul odor if you use as indicated, trust me.
Avatar f tn Now, a week later I am experiencing pain under that crown. Could it be that the stump of the existing tooth has gone bad ? It is a root canal tooth as well. I will do what ever it takes to have nice breath & be pain free.
Avatar n tn I have a crown in my front teeth. Recently I noticed bad breath. After a while I figured out that the source of the abad breath was the gum area right above the crown. If I rub my finger in the gum area just above the crown, it smells really bad. I can even smell it in the floss after I have flossed the crown tooth. And the upper part of my front teeth is hurting sometimes (i meant the gum) and my front teeth bleeds easily. Pls help me about this.
Avatar n tn I have my molar (left lower) root canaled few days agao, I have to make restoration of the tooth. I guess I would onlay restoration, hopefully get rid of crown bad smell problem.
Avatar n tn I have been reading info on the subject and are learning that an inlay strenghens a tooth while a crown weakens a tooth. an inlay also should be preferred whenever conditions allow over a crown. an inlay is also a conservative procedure as it removes the least amount of the tooth material. Another advantage not mentioned in the literature is that it should be easier to detect a decay around an inlay than in a crown. I would appreciate any comments to the statements above.
Avatar n tn The other thing is that one tooth had almost perfect temp crown. It just needed an impression for a permanent crown. and the other tooth did not have a crown as I lost its temp crown. The new Dentist decided to remove the perfect temp crown and do the impression for both teeth and redo the temp crown.
Avatar f tn t want to contradict mammo , there is another major problem, which is overlooked, could be due to individuals that have dry mouth, who usualy also have a slow digestion, and when you drink milk or milk products, will have bad breath. You must have a big cavity, that food gets stuck in it , to give you bad breath. Also a crown, that the cement is partially gone, brush and floss cannot get to, also can give you bad breath .
Avatar m tn the reactions are very painful... bad breath developed before it due to gingivitis...but the bad breath went away after gingivitis deep cleaning....anyway, I am still unsure as to what may be causing my nasal odor to remain....I had thought the nasal odor would go away when I took away the bad breath but it has not...I still have bleeding from my gums and still 2 cavities that I have yet to fill... I am pretty sure I also do not have tonsil stones...What can be causing my nasal odor?
Avatar m tn A loose crown can lead to lodgement of bacteria under it and cause bad odour.Other causes of bad breath from mouth are tooth decay, sinus disease or gum diseases or reflux disease. Tonsilloliths can also cause bad breath, sore throat, white debris, difficulty in swallowing and tonsillar swelling .These are only possibilities. Seeing a doctor for accurate diagnosis is important. Do keep me posted. Best luck and regards!
Avatar m tn how long is a root canal tooth supposed to be exposed without a crown? I feel the dentist that performed the root canal was negligent, because the should have completed the treatment and not leave my tooth exposed to further problems like I'm facing now. =( Thank you!
Avatar n tn While there may be other things that can cause the bad breath, as you probably know, you want to look at the first obvious cause, which is a decaying tooth. Anything that is decaying stinks. I don't think it would be your temporary filling. You really don't need a tongue scraper, just brush your tongue thoroughly with your toothbrush.
Avatar f tn I had a gross odor when flossing around my crown & it seemed loose as well. This turned out to be an abscessed tooth. The pain is unbearable, I am currently on antibiotics & pain med. having the tooth extracted next week & an implant put in 3000.00 later. Ugh what a headache. If their is a smell that means decay under the crown or something else brewing. Crowns should always feel tight & not smell when flossing between.
Avatar n tn it will turn black due to the loss of blood supply because the tooth is dead after the root canal because they remove all the infected tissues inside, either get a temp crown or have a better temporary filling material put in
Avatar f tn When I went in for the replacement I was not experiencing any pain or sensitivity to hot or cold. The dentist told me the tooth was cracked and needed a crown. He proceeded to numb the area, but he seemed rather rough and excessive. My ear was even numb. He prepped the tooth and sent me away with a temporary that left the receded gum area exposed. When the novacaine wore off I experienced intense pain, but attributed it to the roughness with which the dentist had prepped.
Avatar f tn I have to temporarily mask my breath with breath mints because gum does not work. but that last about 5 minutes and the bad breath comes back, but eating a box of Altoids within a few days also has caused more cavities for me. I've licked my wrist to see if my saliva smells but thats not it really. Whenever I floss in between my crowns thats where the smell comes from, it lingers on the floss and its really gross but the other teeth don't smell only the ones with the crowns.
Avatar n tn ICantLiveLikeThis either! I know exactly what you are talking about! I have had all of the exact same symptoms as you. I too have suffered from bad breath (off & on at first) for several years. Then the allregies started; then the post nasal drips; then the breathe problem became worse. The problem got so bad in fact, the smell started to stink up my entire office! I intially went to the dentist for a cleaning (they didn't find anything wrong).

Avatar n tn My question is that ever since I have quit smoking and had my wisdom tooth taken out, I've noticed soreness in my upper back area, and on the lower mollars there is blackening around my crowns. My mouth has a bad taste and odor to it as well. I've been using an electric tooth brush, and floss alone with listerine. Do I need to make another dentist apt. or is there something I can do to get rid of the blackness and odor?
Avatar n tn Bad smell associated with crown generally results from retained debris in stead of allergic response.
Avatar n tn t want a bad crown to ruin all that work! What are my options? Can a permanent crown be easily removed and replaced? Should I consider visiting a cosmetic dentistry specialist or was the fabricator the problem? I hate to disrupt this crown and possibly affect my root but I am unhappy with the aesthetics.
Avatar n tn Many stronger cements draw moisture out of the tooth and can leave it very sensitive. If your tooth was prepared correctly so that the crown tucks under your gums, it should never leak or decay. Rest assured, your tooth should be just fine. I would be more concerned about the fracture under the crown. Hope this helps!
Avatar n tn Why should I get pain so long AFTER the root canal if nothing is wrong. Do you think I should get the crown taken off? I had not pain in the tooth before the root canal, now I have a pain in my mouth. I have my recent xrays.
1096641 tn?1271707225 Opus is right. It could be a bad tooth or bad teeth. It could be the food you are giving him. Try switching him to a different brand, although having four kitties.......that would be difficult. A good check-up at the vet's will help you find out what is wrong with the cat. Only thing we can tell you is we are pretty certain your cat has a problem. Good Luck.
