had crown lengthening, I am not liking how slow I’m healing. What’s bothering me the most is that I feel like one of my teeth besides the crown lengthened tooth is loose. had my surgery on Weds saw perio on Fri to check & he said that my tooth isn’t loose. going nuts here. friend told me she had the same problem &sensitivity for a month. I don’t have perfect teeth but I only have 24 teeth can not afford to lose one. I really want this to be ovr with. Feel free to tell me I’m overthinking

You could have a cavity under a crown. There could be canals that weren’t found and so were not cleaned and filled. It’s possible there is a crack in one or both teeth. All of these are possibilities, the only way to know is to see a dentist for an exam and x-ray.
There are different kinds of retainers. So first give me the type of retainer provided by your orthodontist, so that I can guide you better accordingly.
