If you have a rickety dental crown, you should first stop gnawing on food with that tooth. If you put the whole force of your mouth behind it, the whole dental crown may come off. And that would not be a good thing.

You'll be blessed if you're left with a stump that contains more than half of the original root. Sometimes when a dental crown comes off, it will also take with it a huge amount of what's left of your tooth material.

Above all, this is true if you unintentionally munch down on something firm, like seeds or nuts, a stiff piece of steak or something gluey.

If your dental crown is an interim one, then you shouldn't be troubled if this comes to pass. It will be replaced by the permanent one in a few days anyway. So, keep cool. Just bear in mind to sidestep the side of your mouth with the Gilbert loose dental crown when you're chewing up your food.

But if you have an unsteady permanent dental crown, then the best course of action is to call me immediately and plan to take a trip to Gilbert to my dental office. A permanent dental crown that is unstable can certainly expose your tooth root. Your original tooth will likely be destroyed if the crown pulls off other materials with it.

While you are waiting for your dental visit, avoid chewing on that side of your mouth and don't eat tough foods. It is a great way to lose weight at the same time!

A permanent crown may start to feel wobbly when the glue erodes from the base. This is the part where the dental crown meets with the base of the root. As you steadily take in food and brush your teeth, more cement will subside and you'll have a Gilbert loose dental crown.
