I paid a pretty penny to get my teeth crowned. It is the first tooth to the left of my front tooth (can't remember what it's called); the crown falls out at least once a month. Sometimes, it just pops out on it's own, and other times it will pop out when I am biting into something very soft. This morning, it fell out as I bit into a banana!
My dentist will re-cement it back in for free, but having paid close to $3,000 for the crown, I would like to think it would stay in for awhile. I am getting sick of having to visit the dentist so often, to get it glued back in.
I am very careful about what I eat, and avoid foods that would pull it out (or so I thought). I brush regularly, and floss gently. Is this faulty dental work, or could I be doing something to cause this?
How should I approach my dentist about my disappointment in her work?
