My husband teeth are just crumbling away. Getting smaller & smaller. He see's the dentist soon. Our dentist is all about crowns. I want to know if he does have resorption of either kind, is crowning over his teeth going to do any good. Crowning over his teeth in my opinion isn't taking care of the resorption. I don't know.
