I had to get a dental crown on a back tooth. When the temporary crown first went in, my teeth felt sensitive. Then, since the permanent crown came in, I have had extra saliva, sores in my mouth, a bitter taste, and bad breath. Is it possible the crown caused a yeast infection in my mouth?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dear Pamela,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

You’ve listed a lot of symptoms here and all of them have various causes. The sensitivity after temporary crowns is normal and usually ends shortly after the permanent ones. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for a yeast infection, is it possible you’ve been rinsing a lot with peroxide in an effort to help with your situation? While it can be a good periodic disinfectant, using it more than just occasionally will lead to a yeast infection. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes after a stressful dental appointment, a person can develop burning mouth syndrome, but one of the main symptoms of that is dry mouth and you said extra saliva, so I am going to rule that out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sores in your mouth are usually from either stress or a virus. The other two symptoms, bad breath and a bitter taste, usually have to do with oral hygiene. Sometimes, after getting a dental crown<\/a> where someone’s mouth is sensitive, they ease up on the brushing and flossing, but that actually exacerbates the problem. Dig in there without being delicate and it will help. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, there is the possibility you are having trouble getting everything from around the crown. In those cases, something like a WaterPik will help. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try those things and if it doesn’t help after a couple of weeks, see your dentist again and have him or her look at things. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
