Do crowns wear on the inside over time?

Q. I have 4 crowns in the front (top) I just noticed as I was flossing today the area I thought had food seems to be more like a wearing of the side of the crowns (2). Does this happen and what do you do about it besides new crowns. I know–go to the dentist. I have had them approximately 17-20 years. Thank you

A. Crowns do not wear on their side- you probably have decay and need new crowns
