Can a Dental Hygienist damage a Crown by using the wrong tools and working to much on it?

September 14, 2016
Asked By:isamarshall in Denver, CO

I feel like after a dental cleaning my crown is bothering me. I have a bigger gap now between my crown and my gum. She worked with the same tool she worked with other teeth and stayed on the crown for the longest time. Did she mess it up?
