I hate my dental crown and want it removed. Will a dentist do this?

Asked By:smiley79 in Newark, NJ

The crown irritates my gums so badly no matter how much I brush and floss. I got it a few years ago when I was around 16. My gums are always bleeding, irritated and in pain. It also traps food. I am unhappy with it and want it out of my mouth for good. I cannot afford a new crown. Will a dentist do this?? It is luckily back tooth so I am not worried about cosmetic appearance.
