Would an old fake gold tooth cause my tooth to start to decay

Q. I put one of those fake gold teeth on one of my tooth say about 16yrs ago give or take anyway my question would that cause my teeth to start to decay my teeth.

A. Dear R,

I would suggest it is more likely that diet and brushing techniques are more to blame for the decay – your dentist will be able to correct or remake the gold crown but the underlying problem needs attention first.

I recommend you book an appointment with a dentist and a hygienist to restore any decaying teeth and to give you some advice on where you may be going wrong.

Kind regards
Dr
