Porcelain Crowns

What are the downsides to porcelain crowns once they are in place? What are the most common issues with tooth sensitivity, and what should you do if a crown starts to loosen or fall out?

Crowns can become loose if the cement that holds them in place breaks down or if there is structural damage to the tooth underneath (such as decay). If you notice that your crown feels loose, it is important to see your dentist immediately before it becomes completely dislodged. You can read about ceramic dental crowns in the article https://villagedentalmedicine.com/po...dental-crowns/. While waiting to see your dentist, avoid chewing on the side with the loose crown to prevent it from falling out and damaging the tooth underneath.

If the crown falls out completely, keep it in a safe place and try to schedule an emergency dental appointment as soon as possible.

Regular brushing and flossing are critical to preventing decay in the natural tooth underneath the crown. Flossing around the crown helps remove plaque and food particles that can cause gum disease and decay around the edges of the crown.
