Sensitive Teeth Loose Crowns Gold vs Porcelain Crown Lengthening	Leakage Historical Standard Stop Failures Crowns - Getting it Right the First Time

Question:

I have noticed when I am flossing around my crowns that there is a very bad odor coming from them that I don't get from my other teeth when I floss. My dentist has checked them and said they are coming loose.

Do you know of a reason that this could be happening? These crowns are about 5 years old. I have a newer crown (1 year) and it does not give me this problem. ...Visitor from Edmonton, Alberta (Canada)

Answer:
Most crowns come loose eventually because they leak like an old basement. Today's technology has improved the seal with our new cements, but it is up to your dentist to make sure that your crowns are placed properly and last a long time. 5 years is poor.

Your crowns should not have come loose in such a short period of time. You may have cavities under the crowns which may be adding to the problem. Insist on a warranty from your dentist if he/she is going to replace them. Crowns should last ast least 20 years if they are properly maintained.
