I have had a temporary crown for 7 years and it has not loosened and want to know what would happen if I take it out myself?

Question

Vicki Borowski, DDS · Answer

Temporary crowns are only meant to be worn for a short period of time. Is there a reason why the permanent crown was never seated? Also, the temporary is covering the remaining tooth structure so removing the temporary will leave exposed tooth structure. I suggest you go to the dentist to have a new crown made for this tooth. If one was made 7 years ago it will no longer fit the tooth.
