Common Questions and Answers about Tooth decay and bad breath
teeth
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 .
I was having the same odor problem under a crown and it was decay and I had to have the tooth removed. Bacteria can find it's way under the crown and cause decay...call your dentist about the odor and pain.
If this is the case a full mouth exam should be performed and all the decay has to be repaired for the bad breath to go away. 3. Systemic (from stomach), if this is the case you should consult a doctor to make sure that there are no internal problems. Products such as mouth wash, toothpaste and mints are only temporary solution in the presence of any of the above conditions.

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!
I have a molar cracked off 1/3 on the top. so I have had a root canal past Monday, now I am facing to do crown? onlay? other options?
my old dentist always ask me to do a crown even before finding out my molar tooth cracked (at that time it was only pian when bite, but no decay).
crown maybe not bad in terms of durability, but I have 3 worries: 1. not confident that I can come across a dentist who are capable enough to make a crown with no leakage. 2.
For many years I did not realized that my bad breath is from the crowns. I have consulted over 15 dentists, orthodontists, ENTs( one of who recommended my tonsils removed), gastrointestinal specialist (with scopes, allergic testing) even a heart specialist, in case there something he knows. Besides all the traditional quacks.
Some deduced that I was over sensitive to extend of psycho while some were sympathetic but helpless.
Are you frequently border line dehydrated, for example? Bacteria can smell so gum disease, tooth decay can both cause bad breath. How is your oral hygiene or mouth health? But if you have a chronic issue with your sinuses or lungs, you can also have bad breath. What is your diet like? Certain foods in our diet can lead to bad breath. You could have chronic dry mouth? Or you could have a metabolic disorder.

The causes of bad breath from the back of mouth could be due to several causes like halitosis, gum disease, tooth decay, sinusitis, chronic post nasal drip; reflux disease etc.Bad breath is caused due to build up of bacteria that cause inflammation and give off noxious odors and gases that smell like sulfur. Brush and floss your teeth after very meal. Avoid intake of garlics, onions and spicy foods. Eat more of carrots, apples etc.
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.
"Pregnancy can lead to dental problems in some women, including gum disease and increased risk of tooth decay.
I just feel really bad, because my dentist kept making bad remarks like I was the worse case. When I was younger I never went to the dentist. I already had one taken out and now had 5 removed and I'm going to get implants in them all. But I just feel bad, and my Mom is making fun of me and I feel hurt right now.
I use inter-dental brushes soaked in mouth wash and I spend a fortune on all sorts of tooth and gum washes. I have to suck mints continuously. If I chew gum this makes the smell worse, as it seems to “leech” out the smell from the gum. The same thing happens eg when I eat an apple or a slice of toast; I can detect the bad taste through the food taste if I chew on that side.
I would consult with your endodontist and see what they say. They opened the tooth and saw what was going on inside. Your general dentist can do that also. If there's extensive decay in that tooth still or there's some reason to believe the bridge is bad, then replacing it would be ideal. If the decay isn't bad and the bridge seems fine, then placing a filling in there would work as well.
