My husband has a condition that baffles me and his dentist. He cannot tolerate any permanent crowns or bridges. The dentist put one in and before the night was over, my husband got out the pliers and pulled it off. It makes him panic to have anything cemented permanently in his mouth. So, as a result, he has to put a temporary glue on everyday to keep the crowns in place. He has three of them now. This is a big pain in the neck. He has also swallowed them from time to time when eating. He has tried to have his teeth permanently fixed but each time, he pulls it off with pliers before the night is over. It seems to be related to his claustrophobia. My husband is very well educated and cannot contribute his claustrophobia to any significant event in his life. Any help or suggestions?
