When you first get dental crowns<\/a>, they\u2019re likely to feel a little tight. Over the next few weeks, they probably seem to get looser and looser, until they\u2019re practically falling out of your mouth every time you open it to eat something or speak. How can this be? Constant clenching or grinding of the teeth can cause a crown to become loose. Tooth decay, also known as cavities, can change the structure of the tooth and in turn, will cause the crown to be loose. Any form of trauma can cause a dental crown to become loose. A loose crown can be very unsettling, but it is also a very common problem. Fortunately, if the crown is in good shape, your dentist can easily cement it back in place. The sooner you call your dentist, the better. This is because the dentin underneath the crown is very vulnerable to damage and decay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What’s the issue with dental crowns?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The short answer is that a crown<\/a> that doesn\u2019t fit right isn\u2019t a crown at all \u2014 it\u2019s just a loose piece of metal with no real connection to the tooth. This means that it\u2019s going to wear away faster and look terrible long before the tooth would have needed to be replaced without the crown. Moreover, it\u2019s a major dental health hazard to keep a crown from falling out or coming loose in the mouth \u2014 it can trap food and bacteria in a way that leads to plaque and gum disease. These problems can be especially bad when zirconium is involved. <\/p>\n\n\n

The harder material wears away the adjacent tooth structure even faster than a gold crown would, and the low coefficient of friction makes it grind down the adjacent teeth at a much faster rate than a gold crown would. This can lead to major problems with bone loss if it isn\u2019t caught and corrected pretty quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your dentist didn\u2019t fit the crown properly<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019ve been to the dentist and gotten a zirconium crown, you may have also gotten a lecture about how you have to be careful not to bite too hard with that tooth. <\/a>This is because the dentist may have tried to fit the crown improperly. This is a common mistake and can cause a crown to come loose. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
