If you had this crown made less than a year ago, there should be no issues. The odor/taste may be from a different issue. This needs further investigation.

The crown could have some leakage and food is getting underneath it or between it and tooth next to it. The tooth won't hurt because the nerve was removed but the bitter smell and taste is from the decaying food.

Your need to have area reexamined. We can't do that for you on this site. This site is for general information., not diagnosis. Return to your Dentist or seek a second opinion.

I got a root canal done. I don't like the crown they put on me;it feels too bulkly. I made more visits to get it shaved down and i still don't like it. Is redoing the crown not good for my teeth under?
