Loose dental crown?
It probably will come off soon if it hasn't already! Crowns don't usually become loose. They are cemented on with really good dental cement. Usually if it becomes loose it is because you haven't been flossing daily and there is decay eating away at the tooth underneath the crown causing a space. When you eat, the force on the crown and the space could separate the crown from the tooth. If you had a root canal done on the tooth before it got crowned, you would not feel the sensitivity you normally would feel if a viable tooth was decaying. Just try to keep it clean and if it does pop off, clean the tooth area very well and clean out the inside of the crown and you can put a little Vaseline in the crown and put it back over the tooth. It's not a very strong hold so be careful. In fact, unless your tooth becomes sensitive without the crown, just keep it in an envelope or something for the dentist to cement back on at your appointment.
Reply:It might but usually it's nothing to worry about. Just keep the area clean and hopefully it won't be too sensitive to heat or cold before you can make an appointment. If it does come loose, make sure you don't lose it.
