Do you think the dental crown I have is the reason for my bad breath?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I hope you are doing good. Bad breath can occur for many reasons, one of them being gingivitis or gum inflammation that occurs due to the hardening of plaque deposited on the teeth, which cannot be removed by regular brushing. You may need a professional cleaning done by a dentist or a hygienist at a dental clinic. It is mandatory for everyone at least once every six months. Another reason for bad breath can be general health issues. Do you have Gastritis or Diabetes? These conditions can cause gum inflammation and bad breath. Also, check if there is any space between the crown and tooth, as it can cause food stagnation. I suggest you follow a proper brushing technique and use an interdental brush to clean between the crown and tooth. If you feel everything is fine with your teeth, I suggest you go to a general physician for a consultation.

I hope this helps.

Kindly revert in case of further doubts.

Take care.
