Although, the vast majority of the time, dental Crowns are a simple and straightforward procedure, problems can arise very occasionally:
A newly crowned tooth may feel slightly uncomfortable as the Anesthetic wears off. This should fade shortly. If the tooth to which the Crown is fitted still has a nerve, it may be that it is sensitive to hot or cold foods. This should be treated in the usual manner, i.e., with specialist toothpaste.
A porcelain Crown may chip occasionally. A small chip can be fixed with resin, whereas a large chip will mean the Crown has to be replaced.
Sometimes the cement holding the Crown in place may wear away, causing the crown to loosen. Not only does this mean it could fall out, but it also leaves the tooth beneath vulnerable to decay. If your Crown feels loose, call your personal Smile USA Dentist.
