Asked By:klkfab in Spring Hill, FL

crown put on age 11,new dentist. I'll prob be in debt forever after all the work I've had done. New dentist has placed 3 more crowns and a bridge in. Current issue: upper had rootcanal, and crown. Only to have it break off (and at a lovely business dinner) So now the short version is that I go to b wind up w root canal and crown. NOW, is it common for crowns to be removed likE this? I'm terrified since my FRONT TEETH are crowned too! I've NEVER HEARD OF A CROWN BEING PULLED, EVER...
