Less Than a Year After my Root Canal my Crown Continues to Come Loose. What Can I Do?

January 9, 2011
Asked By:cottontail in Cocoa, FL

My dentist did a root canal on my front tooth and I had to have it redone by an oral surgeon. My dentist put my crown back on but it eventually came loose and fell off. He put it back on again. It came loose, he put it back on but crammed it on hard and uneven that my gums swelled up. I went back and he fixed it. But it is not in right, I have a space between my front teeth, which I have never had before and the black top of the crown shows. Now less than a year later, it's loose again. I don't trust him to give me a proper evaluation when I go back in- any ideas what's going on?
