I've had a few dental crowns for many years now, and recently I heard someone mention concerns about materials used in dental work. It made me quite anxious. Can dental crowns, especially older ones, potentially cause cancer?

There is absolutely no need to worry about this, dental crowns are made of safe materials like ceramic or metal alloys. Millions of people get them done every day, and they don't cause cancer. Just focus on finding a decent budget-friendly dentist in your area to get it done properly.

Crowns don't cause cancer, but if a crown is poorly fitted, it can cause constant irritation or cuts on your tongue and cheek. If you have any sharp edges or chronic pain, please visit your dentist to get it adjusted immediately, as long-term irritation isn't good.

I have had three metal-ceramic crowns in my mouth for the last twenty years and I am perfectly healthy. These modern dental materials go through rigorous safety checks before they are used. Don't let these internet rumors scare you.
