Hi i have just had a new crown fitted from my dentist

Q. Hi i have just had a new crown fitted from my dentist just a month ago, unfortunately it has come off twice within a month. My dentist cut the gum so that the crown would stay on but it still came off. I have had it fitted back on with some stronger cement. What are my options here? because it just doesnt feel right. Can they take it back off and refit it or will that damage the crown and root? My roots at the top are not very stron. Many thanks.

A. It is difficult to diagnose the problem without seeing you but it could either be the crown is too high in your bite so when it is place and you bite your teeth together it is getting an exceessive amount of pressure causeing itto come loose or it could be there is not enough tooth for the crown to hold onto.  I suggest going back to dentist so it can be assessed.
I hope this helps
