[Eating sticky or hard foods ](#)Chewy sweets, toffee, and very hard foods can pull a crown loose, particularly if the cement has already weakened. [Trauma or impact ](#)A blow to the face or mouth during an accident or sport can knock a crown off the tooth. [Tooth decay beneath the crown ](#)If decay develops around the margins of the crown, it can undermine the seal and cause the crown to dislodge. [Teeth grinding (bruxism) ](#)Excessive grinding and clenching places repeated stress on crowns, which can loosen them over time. [Ill-fitting crown ](#)If a crown is not fitted precisely, it may be more susceptible to coming loose. ### Symptoms to Watch For - The crown has visibly fallen off or feels loose when you touch it with your tongue - Difficulty chewing on the affected side without discomfort - Sensitivity or pain in the exposed tooth, particularly to hot, cold, or sweet items - Swelling or tenderness in the gum around the exposed tooth - A feeling of roughness or a gap where the crown used to sit - A noticeable change in your bite alignment ### Dental Treatment Options - Re-cementation - If the crown is intact and the underlying tooth is healthy, the crown can often be cleaned, checked for fit, and re-cemented back in place during a single appointment. This is the quickest and most straightforward solution. - New crown fabrication - If the original crown is damaged, worn, or no longer fits properly, a new crown will be made. Impressions or digital scans of your tooth are taken, and a custom crown is crafted to fit precisely and match your natural teeth. - Temporary crown - While a new permanent crown is being made, a temporary crown can be fitted to protect the exposed tooth and allow you to eat and drink comfortably. - Treatment of underlying decay - If decay beneath the crown was the cause of it coming loose, the decay must be treated first. This may involve a filling or further restoration before a new crown can be placed. - Root canal treatment - In some cases, if the tooth beneath the crown has become infected or the nerve is compromised, root canal treatment may be needed before a new crown is fitted. ### Prevention Tips - Avoid very sticky foods like toffee, caramel, and chewing gum, which can pull crowns loose. - If you grind your teeth, use a night guard to reduce stress on your crowns. - If a crown feels loose, contact us promptly rather than waiting for it to fall off completely. - Attend regular dental check-ups so the condition of your crowns can be monitored and any weakened cement addressed early. - Maintain good oral hygiene around crowned teeth — brush gently at the gum line and use interdental cleaning aids. - Avoid biting down on very hard items with crowned teeth, such as ice or hard boiled sweets. ### Need Urgent Dental Care?
