Why would there be bad decay and need to replace a crown after 1-1 1/2 years? Would you just have it pulled and deal with the chewing problem? I have a dull tooth ache. Three back teeth are bad. Two had crowns in 2005 and the very back one has to be pulled. No dental insurance.

HELLO, THE SIMPLE TRUTH IS THAT A CROWN SHOULD LAST LONGER THAN THAT. WITH PROPER CARE, A CROWN CAN LAST MANY DECADES. I'VE HAD SOME PATIENTS TELL ME THEY'VE HAD A PARTICULAR CROWN FOR 25 OR 30 YEARS. FLOSSING IS A KEY BECAUSE THE EDGE, AKA MARGIN, CAN DEVELOP DECAY UNDERNEATH IF NOT KEPT CLEAN. THEN MAYBE THE CROWN WAS INADEQUATELY MADE AND CEMENTED WITH AN OPEN MARGIN?
