My daughter had a root canal done last year. The crown

Q. My daughter had a root canal done last year. The crown has come out several times and my dentist insists this happens because she is eating candy and chewing gum. The last time it came out was last week and she was chewing gum… but I also have a crown from a root canal and I chew gum and eat candy and this has never happend to me.

A. Post retained crowns - I presume this is the type of crown your daughter has- are oftern the last ditched effort to saving a tooth.  If there is very little tooth left  the crown may only be able to attach to the post and can be very prone to coming out.  Your crown may have more tooth to attach itself too.
