A loose crown: why waiting gets expensive

A crown that wobbles usually does not hurt. That is precisely the problem: many people wait for the next check-up, and that is six months away.

Bacteria gather under the loosened margin. The tooth stump underneath is often left with little substance, and it can be destroyed within weeks to the point where it cannot be saved.

What would have been re-cementing then becomes a new restoration — or the loss of the tooth and with it an entirely different solution.
