In order to determine whether this symptom is caused by the loose edge of the porcelain crown, a careful clinical examination of the entire mouth of teeth (including teeth restored with porcelain crowns) is required to rule out caries in other teeth and other factors in the mouth that may cause bad breath before a diagnosis can be made.

If the examination reveals that the edges of the porcelain crown are not tight and there are obvious gaps, indicating that there is marginal caries, it is recommended that you consult with your attending physician to remove the poor restoration, remove the necrotic tooth tissue and repair it again.

Dietary considerations for bad breath

When moisture meets heat, it becomes damp heat. When there is damp heat in the body and the spleen and stomach are weak, food that stays in the stomach for too long will produce an abnormal fermentation odor. A lot of food is not decomposed, and indigestion causes excessive stomach fire and then fungal corruption, with the odor rising up and leaking out. If you have bad breath, do not eat spicy and irritating foods such as pepper, Sichuan pepper, cloves, fennel, etc. It is recommended to eat more yellow fruits, such as citrus, mango, papaya, and red fruits, such as strawberries, grapes, and black currants.
