I have decay under my crown, what should I do?

You should go see your dentist. You'll need to have the crown removed, and the decayed area drilled and filled. Then you may be able to get a new crown.

You should make an appointment at your dentists, to get your crown removed and replaced with a new one or at least ask your dentist what should be done to take care of the decay under your crown because you don't want to leave it just for it to get worse.

First the crown must be removed. Then most of the time the tooth is given a root canal in order to rebuild it and correct the damage that was done by the decay.

Decay under your crown is a dentist visit at which point he will remove your crown and then deal with the rot beneath. You could have a root canal, tooth removal or some other treatment and depending on the condition of the crown, the good news is that it might be reusable.
