Feel like everything is wrong in my mouth

[kaylajade1189]

I have severe dental fear after an awful surgical extraction and root canal over the space of a month.
I've have a crown on my root canal tooth for 2 years and the last couple weeks I feel like something is constantly stuck around it. I then over floss and make my mouth sore, I've also noticed a bit of gum recession around it.
I'm terrified it's failing. I also have a chip in my front tooth that got worse yesterday, can I go to the dentist and ask them to fix both of those things at once?
I dont want this to be dragged out as I'm freaked out about my teeth just breaking. I also have bruxism which doesn't help as my mouth aches from that too, I can't tell if something is really wrong or if I'm just making it worse by flossing too much. Any advice would be helpful. Thank you

You can ask, it rather depends on what's wrong with the crown though. Might be worth asking them to check your flossing technique too.

@Gordon thank you for your reply.
I feel like I can feel the edge of the crown with my tongue, (im not sure how new this is) the contact is slightly tight with the tooth in front also. So I am worried either my gums have receded, or the difficulty flossing between it and the tooth in front has caused an issue there.

I often feel like there's something stuck, but it's hard to tell if I've just inflamed things with my flossing as you mentioned technique.
I fear my crown failing as the root canal was awful and very painful. I don't think I could through another one.

The crown failing doesn't lead to the root canal failing though...

@Gordon thats good to know, thank you. I have a fear of the worst case scenario when it comes to my teeth.

Oh, you're really not alone with that one
