Yes: A tooth with a crown can become decayed, get gingivitis, periodontitis, or any other dental problem that an uncrowned tooth can develop. You should care for a crowned tooth the same as your other teeth with your homecare as well as regular visits to your dentist and hygienist. With proper care, it can last a long time and do as well as the rest of your teeth.
