I just had several permanent crowns cemented in. Today I notice that one of the crowns feels like it’s slightly wobbly if I wiggle it from side to side, not the entire tooth, but the crown portion itself. The movement is very small, probably just the width of a hair, but I can feel it as well as hear a slight clicking.
