    Hi,

    I had a root canal and a crown done a few years back. In the last day or so I have noticed it has got quite loose. Could it be that the crown needs to be reset or is it more likely I will need to get it extracted. Going to make an appointment with my dentist but was just wondering if anyone else has experienced this before?

    Thanks.
    Alan
