Dental bonding itself usually doesn\u2019t cause breath. So if you\u2019ve noticed a smell after getting a tooth bonded don\u2019t jump to the conclusion that the bonding is the problem. Something else is likely going on near the tooth.<\/p>\n
Bonding is made from tooth-colored resin that is shaped directly onto the tooth. Once it\u2019s polished well the surface should feel smooth. You shouldn\u2019t have a spot that keeps catching food.<\/p>\n
If the bonded area is close to the gum the gum tissue needs to stay clean. Plaque can build there and irritate the gums leading to an unpleasant smell. Bleeding when you brush is another sign that the issue may be around the gum, not the bonding.<\/p>\n
Other causes are possible too. Dry mouth is an one. So is a problem elsewhere in your mouth like a cavity or a gum issue.<\/p>\n
Yes, Only if the shape or fit isn\u2019t quite right.<\/p>\n
A finished bonded tooth should let you brush and floss normally. If floss keeps catching in one spot food gets stuck there or the tooth feels different every time you run your tongue over it tell your dentist. You don\u2019t need to live with it.<\/p>\n
\u2022 A rough edge or tiny chip deserves attention especially if your tongue keeps finding it.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Dry mouth can make breath smell worse so drinking water regularly is worth doing.<\/p>\n
\u2022 If floss catches in one spot don\u2019t keep forcing it. That\u2019s a reason to have the bonding checked.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Mouthwash can freshen things up. It won\u2019t fix plaque hiding around a poorly shaped restoration.<\/p>\n
If the odor sticks around even after good brushing and flossing get the bonded tooth examined. The dentist can check the edge the bite and the gum, around it. Sometimes a simple polish is enough. Sometimes there is another problem underneath.<\/p>\n
If you have swelling, pain, bleeding gums or a bad taste that keeps returning don\u2019t wait for it to sort itself out.<\/p>\n
