my dentist advised me that i need a gold crown as it will provide protection can you advice
Q. Hi, following a recent x-ray & examination of a tooth, my Dentist has advised me that I need a gold crown as it will provide the best long-term protection. I’ve heard about health concerns relating to mercury used for some treatment but noticed a recent enquiry mentioning no mercury content in a gold crown. I’m also considering a 2nd opinion as I would prefer enamel. Can you please advise. Thanks.
A. Crowns that are made of gold contain no mercury however if you want a tooth coloured porcelain crown I see no reason why you cant have on.
