It can protect a damaged or\ndecayed tooth, thus saving it from extraction. It can restore the tooth\u2019s\nfunction and even repair its appearance. Clearly, dental crowns are an\nimportant part of modern dentistry. If one of your crowns becomes loose, you\ncould face some serious consequences. In this post, we will discuss why a crown\nmay become loose and what you can do to solve the problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Dental Crowns Loosen<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dentists carefully design crowns to fit snugly on teeth.\nThey even use a special type of cement to bond the crowns in place. However,\ndespite the secure attachment between the tooth and its crown, various\ncircumstances can cause the crown to loosen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Too many sticky foods. <\/strong>If you\noccasionally eat some toffee, taffy, or other sticky foods, your dental crown\nshould endure just fine. However, if you habitually snack on such treats, they\nwill tug at your crown so much that they will begin to weaken the cement\u2019s\nability to hold your crown in place. <\/li><li><strong>Decay.<\/strong> Dental crowns are made out of\nmaterials that make them invulnerable to decay. However, plaque can accumulate\nalong your gums at the base of the crown and damage the underlying tooth. As\ndecay eats away at the tooth\u2019s structure, the tooth may lose its shape and no\nlonger fit well beneath the crown.<\/li><li><strong>Time.<\/strong> Dental cement can last for many years.\nHowever, it will eventually lose its adhesiveness. <\/li><li><strong>Damage to the crown.<\/strong> If the crown is\ncracked, chipped, or bent, it is more likely to become loose.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What to Do About Your Loose Crown<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you notice that your dental crown does not fit as\nsecurely as it should, call your dentist\u2019s office. Many dentists consider a\nloose or lost crown to be a dental emergency, so you may be able to get a\nsame-day appointment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prior to your dental appointment, there are a few steps you\ncan take to protect your tooth:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Avoid chewing with the tooth that has the loose\ncrown. If the tooth is extra sensitive or causing you pain, do not consume\nacidic foods or anything that is very hot or very cold.<\/li><li>If the crown comes off altogether, try to\nreplace it on your tooth. A dab or toothpaste or a mild dental adhesive may\nhelp to keep it in place. If the crown does not want to fit on your tooth, do\nnot try to force it.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>During your appointment, your dentist might be able to\npermanently reattach the crown. However, it is also possible that they will\nhave to provide you with an entirely new restoration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Are you dealing with a loose crown? Contact your dentist\nright away so you can prevent further damage to your tooth and regain full\ndental function as soon as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About Us<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Drs.
