Will my permanent crowns come out? Is it safe to wiggle them with much finger to see if they are loose?

Question

I had my top two front teeth crowned about 2/3 yrs ago and when I bite down they both (the right one more) feels loose like it’s going to come out they both feel that way, I’m scared to eat, because of it, they are permanent crowns also. What should I do if they come out?

Hi:It’s best to go to your dentist to evaluate the crowns both clinically and with an X-ray.Best,Dr. Maddahi

Hello and thank you for your question. While certain amount of mobility is normal with teeth it should not be really noticeable when you talk. I recommend following up with your Dentist or a Prosthodontist to check the bite on the crowns and assess whether this is normal.Tooth mobility can also be a sign of periodontal disease.

If the crown feels loose, it may come out if moved. I would have it evaluated by a dentist to see if the margins are open. You may be biting on the crown more than other teeth causing it to become loose.
