I'm really worried that my dental crown has failed. After about a year. Its a zirconium crown which I've had replaced once before almost immediately after having it placed (6 months) due to a micro crack, which my dentist said was super rare, and it must have happened during heating up.
Anyway, I've had it replaced with the current one which has been fine. Except, I've now looked online on how to floss properly as I was just sliding it in between the gum line before. However after now putting a little pressure on the crown and sliding it out I have a sharp ish pain.
It almost feels like when I had the tooth prepared without being numb but maybe slightly less sharp.
I'm really worried that this crown has decay under it or something? Or is it normal to have pain when flossing a crown?
All other teeth are fine, and there is no smell etc. The gum doesn't bleed, and the crown doesn't hurt outside of flossing.
The gum behind the tooth is a little sensitive to my electric toothbrush.
What could be the issue here?
