My crown tooth is loose, any options?

September 11, 2014
Asked By:jemmamarie in Japan, JP

35 years ago I had a root canal (tooth #12) fail after placement of a post and crown and had a subsequent apisectomy that was successful. 6 months ago, tooth #17 was filed to level high spots. This changed my bite, and tooth #12 shifted, loosening from the gum. There was quite a bit of bleeding at the time. My dentist said it's OK. I get a bad taste in my mouth suggesting to me that this is not a healthy situation. I'm getting a second opinion, but I'd like to have some idea of possible options. Thanks.

Can a problem occur if a dental crown is not fully seated against the gumline?
David Hornbrook, DDS, FAACD says:

Usually what you are feeling is the junction of the crown where it meets the natural tooth. Usually a dentist, unless there was a cavity here, will leave the edge of the new crown slightly above the gum line on the inside. There is always a possibility that the dentist did not put the crown...
