Crowned tooth and flying

[mon]

I had a crown put on my tooth almost 6 years ago

Will it be ok during a two hour flight , I’ve read that the cabin pressure can damage them ?
I’m so scared as it’s a front tooth
Thank you

It'll be fine.

I don't know where you found that nugget of misinformation, I've not seen it before

@Gordon something to do with air pressure and the retention of the cement apparently.
Thank you for the reasurace

I see. I've seen problems with old amalgam fillings in commercial divers where the decrease in pressure caused micro-pockets of air under amalgam fillings to expand and cause some pain.

In an aircraft, unless there was a serious decompression issue then the air pressure doesn't vary enough to cause a problem. I suspect your teeth wouldn't be your first priority in that case though!
