Question:
About 7 months ago I had a root canal done on two of my teeth. Both teeth were crowned, recently I was chewing gum and a piece of the crown broke off. I can't understand why the crown broke off. Will the tooth start to decay again, do I have to replace the crown?
Answer:
If it's a porcelain fused to metal crown maybe just a piece of porcelain
popped off which should not matter. Have your dentist check it. If the crown does not have metal under it, then you may want it replaced because you can get a cavity. It all depends on what's holding things together.
