2. Causes of bad breath after getting ceramic crowns

The occurrence of bad breath after getting ceramic crowns may be due to several reasons as follows:

2.1. Poor quality of ceramic material

If ceramic crowns are made from low-quality materials, they can oxidize and deteriorate over time, leading to gum irritation, damage to natural teeth, and causing unpleasant breath.

2.2. Cracks in ceramic crowns due to consuming tough foods

Regular consumption of tough foods can cause ceramic crowns to crack or fracture. These cracks provide a breeding ground for bacteria, resulting in bad breath.

2.3. Incorrect technique in placing ceramic crowns

Poorly performed ceramic crown placement by a dentist can result in gaps between the crown and natural tooth, allowing food particles to get trapped. This is a major cause of bacterial attacks on teeth and bad breath.

2.4. Failure to address underlying oral conditions

Before getting ceramic crowns, patients may have underlying oral conditions causing bad breath that has not been properly treated. Therefore, bad breath may persist or worsen after getting ceramic crowns.

2.5. Other causes

In addition to the above reasons, other factors can contribute to bad breath after getting ceramic crowns such as improper oral hygiene, tooth decay, or certain gastrointestinal conditions
