The Dental Crowns I had placed after 2 root canals seem to move slightly more than my other teeth. Is this normal?

Question

I had root canal treatment and on my two upper central incisors. This was a few months ago and the crowns that were put were either porcelain or ceramic (I'm unsure). They don't contain any metal. I've noticed recently that they move slightly more than my other teeth (Not visible movement). I was wondering if it is the crowns that are moving or my natural teeth under the crowns. I have been taking good care of them. I don't bite into anything hard. Does the movement mean that they'll fall off?

If you feel that your crowned teeth are moving more than your other teeth and its happening after few weeks of treatment, the chances are that they are interfering in your jaw movements. Just see your dentist who could check and adjust them.

Thomas Roberts, DDS (retired) · Answer

It is unlikely that your crowns will fall off.  If they are, indeed, moving more than before it is possible the bite is a bit off and should be adjusted.  It is also possible that you are noticing normal movement for the first time.  If you are concerned go back to your dentist and let them evaluate the movement.  I suspect you will find everything is normal.  Good luck!
