Q.
I have recently completed a 5-month treatment for two teeth implants (front top teeth). My review last week indicated from the x-rays that the implants are fine and there is no infection. However, there was slight inflammation around the gums near the implant crowns. I am due for another review in a couple of weeks time. However, today I realised that one of the crowns is loose and moves forwards and backwards slightly. I am very worried. The only think I can tink of is that it maybe due to my new electronic toothbrush which i have been using the last couple of days, but it has a pressure sensor so I know I wasn’t pressing too hard. Inflammation seems to have also cleared up. I have made an emergency appointment, but in the mean time is their a reason for serious concern? Is this problem fixable? Should I avoid brushing the loose crown and not bite with them? Thank you.
