Poor periodontal maintenance and imperfect treatment of the abutment teeth after wearing dental crowns can cause the inside of the crown to smell after wearing it for a long time.
1. Poor periodontal care: poor periodontal care after wearing crowns leads to corresponding gum recession, root exposure, food debris and other accumulations at the root of the tooth is prone to the formation of retrograde pulpitis, the teeth inside the crown will be smelly.
2. Imperfect treatment of the abutment teeth: the abutment teeth inside the crown have been filled and repaired or imperfectly treated with root canal therapy, secondary caries or pulpitis may occur over time, and the inside of the crown will be smelly after wearing it for a long time.
If you wear a crown for a long time, if the inside is smelly, go to the hospital in time, remove the crown under the doctor’s advice, analyze the cause of the smell, and actively treat it until the inflammation disappears, and then put the crown back on or re-restore the crown.
