My daugther got a silver crown placed on her teeth about 2 1/2 months ago and the gum area around the crown is still bleeding when I brush or floss around it. What could be causing this? The dentist did put a bigger size crown on her tooth because her tooth was an in-between size.
Hello, Thanks for consulting Chat Doctor, Read your query, as your daughter had crown placement on tooth this continuous bleeding can be due periodontal problem due to deposition of food there is periodontal pocket formation. For this I will suggest you to consult periodontist and go for examination of tooth and Investigations Iowa X-ray of tooth if there is pocket formation then you should go for Curettage. Hope this will help you. Wishing you good health. Regards,
