Did I loosen my crown?
Hi,
I got my permanent crown glued in on Friday. Like an idiot, I flossed that night (I have adhd and completely forgot about the 24 hour period) I also use a floss pick since I really struggle with string floss and reaching into my mouth. I’m afraid I accidentally hiked the floss under the crown and pulled it a little. It’s firmly on my tooth… but maybe there’s a slight gap?
I’m afraid I accidentally loosed the crown a little bit. The next morning I could feel a little grit on the side that had the crown. It’s been a few days now, and I notice that tooth is sensitive to temperature and I think I feel the edge of the crown… like there’s a slight gap.
I have some periodontitis and have my 3month followup appt scheduled for Aug. Can the crown question for my dentist wait til then, or should I call them and try to get it fixed asap?
Thank you. I really am trying to take better care of my teeth. I feel awful that I did this to my new crown.
