Q.
I had a crown fitted 10 yrs ago and a few months ago it began to annoy me as it was catching on my tongue causing minor ulcers .I made an appointment with my dentist and he smoothed my crown off ,since then i have had problems eating when eating cold n hot food .On returning to the dentist he is now saying that I have fractured my crown although I think it was him when he smoothed my crown off . What is my best move now I am on tax credit just now but dont know what to do for the best ? can u give me options of what to do next ?

How come that the tooth under the crown can become bad?

Monday, August 10th, 2009
Q.
I got in September 2007 a tooth crown. After 2 years the crown got loose and I went back to the dentist. The dentist removed the crown and told me the tooth is bad and the tooth broken inside the crown, so that the crown come loose. But how come that the tooth become bad, when he got cleaned completely before the crown get placed over. Because under the crown a tooth can normally not get bad. Please, I hope you can answer the question: Is the dentist to blame and I have to pay for the repair? Because I think a crown most hold at least 10 years and not just 2 years. I can understand if the glue is not very strong, then the crown can get loose. Thanks a lot.
