Gums hurt, minute bone loss

2025-02-18 03:24:45
My molar no-37 has some gap adjacent to the next tooth post my last crown! I got it changed an year back zirconia, the crown seem to be well settled but food lodgement is still there! The gums hurt there, but i try to keep it clean with flossing! There seems to be a minute bone loss in xray too! My question is: does that gum pain radiate to nearby areas? I realise whenever the pain arises, i tend go clench my cheeks on that side and that results in oral mucosa soreness, redness and roughness! It heals and then again the same issues! Dentist's recommended me a curritage to deep clean the gums, but how would that solve a permanent issue? Food lodgement will still be there once i eat anything? The gums start hurting again ? What should i be doing? Curritage or change in crown?

For food lodgement you have to replace new crown

I would suggest you to go for another Crown... there might be gap in between the retored tooth and the a adjacent tooth... this problem will get solved... gap between teeth leads to food lodgement and eventually to periodontal problems
Health Tips
Maintain proper oral hygiene.. do regular brushing n flossing
