I have had a problem with aa crowned tooth which became infected about a year ago, I went to the dentist had an xray which shoed some bone loss and was put on antibiotics then referred to a hygenist. I have since had trouble again and went back to the same dentist, he said wanted me to go back to the hygenist, I went to a different hygenist who said I had to change way way I brished to get rid of the bacteria. I tried his way but still have a problem, it has also been quite sensitive at times. I isnt as red although not pink like the rest of my gums and I notice a small red spot above the tooth, just want it to come right
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The infected tooth which has a crown can be treated with root canal treatment and root planing with bone grafting. The red spot over the gums can be a pus discharging sinus tract. Consult an oral physician and get a radiograph done to confirm the diagnosis. Get the root canal treatment done by endodontist, followed by root planing and grafting by periodontist. I hope my answer will help you, take care.
