Not-So-Crowning Glory: Ill-Fitting Crowns ❌
Crowns are supposed to strengthen and protect your teeth, but what happens if they don't fit right? Here's what to watch out for:
Gum irritation: A poorly fitting crown can irritate your gums, causing redness, swelling, and discomfort.
Sensitivity: Exposed tooth structure can lead to sensitivity to hot and cold.
Leakage: Gaps around the crown allow bacteria to sneak in, increasing your risk of decay.
Fracture: Ill-fitting crowns can put extra stress on the tooth, making it more likely to crack or break.
If you suspect an ill-fitting crown, see your dentist right away!
Early intervention can prevent further problems.
