If you have a rickety dental crown, right away you should stop using that tooth to eat or munch. If you bite down hard with it, your dental crown could come off in one piece. And you should avoid that at all costs.

Don't be surprised if you don't even have a stump that contains more than half of the original root. Every now and then as a dental crown comes loose, it also steals with it a large amount of your remaining tooth matter.

This is especially true if by accident you grind your tooth on something hard, like ice, a gristly piece of steak or something gooey.

If you have a temporary dental crown, then there's no cause for alarm if this occurs. Your new crown will take the place of the old one very soon anyway. So keep your composure. Just bear in mind to sidestep the side of your mouth with the Westland loose dental crown when you're chewing up your food.

But if you've got an unstable dental crown that's permanent, then it would be best if you get in touch with me at once and visit my Westland dental office. A permanent dental crown that is coming off can undoubtedly make vulnerable the tooth root that it is supposed to protect. It is very possible to lose your original tooth if other matter falls off with the crown.

While you are waiting to see me, avoid chewing on that side of your mouth and consume only softer foods. You might also see the number on the scale drop!

A permanent dental crown starts to loosen when the cement erodes at the bottom. That's where the crown meets the root base. As you eat and brush on a regular basis, the glue will wane further and you will probably have a Westland loose dental crown.
