Can a dentist pull your tooth if you have a crown?

Beware: If you consistently go to your regular 6 month dental check-ups, and your dentist tells you that you need a dental crown, a root canal, or a tooth pulled, it is your dentist’s fault (assuming no physical trauma).

What do you need to know about dental crowns?

A dental crown is a tooth-shaped “cap” that is placed over a tooth to cover the tooth to restore its shape and size, strength, and improve its appearance. The crowns, when cemented into place, fully encase the entire visible portion of a tooth that lies at and above the gum line.

When to see a dentist about a loose crown?

A loose or missing crown needs to be seen by a dentist right away. With nothing covering it, the tooth underneath is unprotected from potential infection. If the root is healthy, a new crown might fix the problem. If decay has gotten in, a root canal procedure will be needed first.

What did my dentist do to my bite after getting a crown?

My dentist won’t fix my bite after getting a crown! I had to get a root canal because I broke my bottom molar in the back about a month ago eating a hard popcorn kernal. After I got the crown, I knew immediately that it didn’t feel like my usual bite. The dentist ground it down a little, but I left that day with it still being off.
