Same thing happened to me. I asked the dentist if I should stop chewing gum. He said good crowns can handle gum, and that crown was going to come off sooner or later anyway due to decay of the tooth under the crown. I was lucky I didn't swallow it. He glued it back on temporarily and we made an appointment for a replacement.
