A member asked:
My 5 yrs old crown dislodged. dentist said i have gum recession so part of tooth not covered by crown and cement leakage. should i make a new crown?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very likely yes.: If there is decay and damage to the natural tooth structure at the margin (edge) of the crown then it will not seal and protect the tooth as much as it should. I would think that it and any "gum disease" that may be going on (should be evaluated) should be treated.
