Please tell me if you think my dentist messed up with putting in my crown?!


Question: when i had a crown put in, my temporary crown had come off and was lost for 2 weeks. i finally went back in and he had told me my gums grew over the margin, but he would see if he would be able to put the on without having to retract my gums. well when he put the crown on with cement he push it into my gum tissue and there was lots of pain. now less than a month later it really hurts to floss in that area and i experience bleeding and it's swollen with bad odor. does it mean that the crown isn't fitting right?

I would for a dental insurance company (in the complaints department no less) and we get this complaint often. It is usually a bad sign when there is a smell. It means food is getting stuck somewhere, or there is infection, or decay under the crown. Best bet is to get a second opinion, most insurance company's (DHMO) cover at no charge, while you can get 2 exams on (PPO) plans most time at no charge. Try seeing if you dentist will be a D0140 (Problem Focused Evaluation) as it usually doesnt apply to frequency limitations. But yes, get it checked out by another dentist, your dentist wont want to admit guilt.

could mean a type of infection. Possibly he didn't clean the area well enough before he put on the crown. Good luck with that. I have a crown as well, and it sucks to go through all the steps.
