Not the most fascinating question!
I have had a crown fitted and replaced four times over the last year. It was put back in a month or so ago and yesterday evicted itself AGAIN.
Its not painful yet but the gum is growing over again already.
Ive read that a dentist won’t pull a tooth that’s healthy, how likely is it she will extract if I ask/ beg/ grovel?
I’m having to pay for an emergency appt each time and it’s right at the back with a chunk of it gone. It’s getting bloody annoying to be honest!

I had a crown that often evicted itself! I used to have bloody dreams about it falling out so was obviously fretting about it in my sleep.

It was eventually replaced with a bridge - so all good now and no more dreams, well dreams about losing teeth that is!

I just want the bloody thing out, my top teeth are pretty crowded as it is and not to be dramatic but I’m a lone mum of three (violins going, I know 😂) and I can’t afford to be too fancy so I’m hoping it can be removed but don’t know if they will
