My Crown Keeps Falling Out, Would The Fact I Have Had Chemotherapy Have Any Bearing On This?

Thursday, May 30th, 2013
Q.

hi im in the uk, my front crown has been falling out pretty regular, went to my dentist who is going to fix the crown next to the tooth that’s on a bridge. i’d like to know whether or not this will help the crown to stop falling out? to give you a bit of context about me, i’m 55 years old, in 2006 i was diagnosed with hodgkins lymphoma. following this i had chemo and in 2006 i was cured. i’d also like to know whether or not the chemo could have any effect on my teeth? i do go for regular check ups so it’s not like i’m a stranger to the dentist. do you think that it will be a new bridge with the tooth joined on to it? look forward to hearing your response. thank you.

How long do dental implants last?

Tuesday, September 6th, 2011
Q.

I’m 20 and got a dental implant 2weeks ago, as I’m young I’m really anxious on the long term issues. Do crowns on implants become loose or fall out frequently, as far as your as your aware. It just that there a lot things you read on the internet about loose screws and crowns etc. I know you trust everything you read on the internet, it that its a life long decision and I would greatly appreciate the opinion of a expert. And if there was a time period in the life of the implant where instances such ad these where likely to occur

Some of my teeth have started falling out, should I get them all removed and have dentures?

Tuesday, September 6th, 2011
Q.

I am a 48 yr old woman who has MS and due to lots of steroids over the past 19 yearsI have lost some of my bone density in my gums resulting in the ‘falling out’ of teeth. I have 4 crowns at the top front of my mouth but 1 of these rods in my gum has now broken leaving me with a protruding crown. My confidence to talk has gone & I don’t smile open mouthed anymore or if I do I cover my mouth with my hands…PLEASE HELP, as my dentist says that the only solution is to remove it and put it on a plate which I have for the loss of back teeth which I have lost but the plate is not worn as I cannot eat with it in place, and it makes me lisp. I have also asked whether it is an option to have them all removed and dentures but he has said that the teeth I have left (7 top 11 bottom) are too healthy to remove.

My crown has just fallen off, should I replace it with another crown or an implant?

Friday, June 17th, 2011
Q.

Dear Dr Moore,
I had a crown put on one of my front teeth 6 years ago due to discolouration of the tooth after root canal treatment. Last few days, my tooth felt loose and I organised an emergency dentist appointment. After taking the crown off and looking at the xrays, there is a clear horizontal fracture line near where the tooth ‘stump’ meets the gum. The dentist strenghten the tooth with cement and put the crown back on as a temporary measure. She explained it might only last a couple of months before the tooth breaks completely. She offered me two options: a post crown or an implant. I was wondering which option do you think would be more appropriate in my situation? I am 24 years old and would like a long-lasting but safe option. I feel I would like to try the post crown first but was told that this might only last 10 years. Would having a post crown put in first make it more difficult to have an implant at a later stage?
Thank you

A.

Leaking Crown filled with Gold! What can be done?

Monday, May 16th, 2011
Q.

My crown on the last lower right molar was done about 10 years ago. One dentist told me it there could be problem with it but leave it alone if it’s not bothering you, another said it needed to be restored because there appeared to be leakage but I needed to see an endodontist.. I decided to restore it. A post had been placed in the tooth previous. Endodontist starts drilling and discovered the roots were filled with gold (can you believe it, gold) and the crown is like one unit and there is a risk of tooth breakage if they try to remove the crown. The attempt to remove the gold was futile and I was told just leave it alone. The tooth has a temporary patch. Of course I don’t want to lose my tooth. My osteoporosis makes pulling a tooth somewhat risker. The tooth was not bothing me and I hope it continues not to, but my fear is that it will develop decay. I need the crown filled now, can this be done? Is this the only solution?

My crowns have fallen out, can I get them rebonded?

Thursday, May 12th, 2011
Q.

Both of my dental crowns just came off tonight after having them put on about 10 years ago following a dual root canal on the two molars immediately behind my canine tooth. Is it possible to have my dental crowns rebond ? If it is possible, how much does it usually cost to have them re-bonded? If it isn’t possible, what are my other options? At the moment, there is no pain, but I am freaking out alot because I can feel my teeth that had been ground down.

My new dentist tells me I should have 5 teeth removed after my crowns became damaged. What advice can you give?

Thursday, April 14th, 2011
Q.

i recently visited a new dentist as my previous one was too far away, i had 2 crowns before and they got damaged and fell out, when i returned to my old dentist he said they needed to be removed as the crown was not staying put. that was november and my new dentist was quite abrupt and rude and told me the 2 needed 2 be removed and another 3, 1 is a widom tooth. he told me the nhs would not pay for me to have thosands of pounds of work done and he would not treat me until the teeth had been removed. he then made a hospital appointment for this to happen under sedation. i agree the wisdom and the previous 2 need to be removed but the others im sure can be saved, otherwise it leaves me with 2 back teeth??

Can I have a broken crown fixed even though there is a post underneath?

Monday, April 4th, 2011
Q.

I have a crowned tooth with a post on the lower right side, third from the back (or 5th from the front).

I bit into some food which was extremely hard a few days ago and since I have been in pain.

This crown has come off once before and was just glued backed in place.

Do you think it would be possible to have this tooth recrowned bearing in mind there is a post underneath too? One dentist I have spoken to said if the crown ever comes off the tooth would have to be removed, but as the crown came off once before and was replaced I cannot see why it could not be recrowned with a new crown and post.

Also, about the middle of last year I had to have a crowned tooth upper right (molar 2nd from the back) removed because of the failure of a root canal filling. The dentist had puctured the root cannal in a few places and the root cannal filling seeped out. I ended up with quite a bad infection, which distroyed some of the bone. I have been finding it more difficult to eat (chew food properly since then and feel this is why I chewed on the hard food using the lower tooth, which now is giving me pain. After all I have lost a molar which is used to grind food.

My whole bite now seems wrong.

I have a little dental insurance, which would probably cover the cost of a new crown, but not pay for implants.

Can you advise the best course of action as I do not want to lose another tooth.

Kind regards
