Loose Crown HELP!

I've had tooth #11 worked on several times. A root canal about 15 years ago and then another one last year. Got my new crown on in March and after a cleaning my tooth wiggles and feels loose when I eat.  I can actually make it sway  back and forth and hear a gushing sound in my gum.  Gums got all inflamed and irritated so went back to the dentist. They gave me chlorahexadine and said crown is completely cemented on there. No one has answered my question about the wiggling of the tooth.  What might this be and how can I fix it? Thank you!

Seeing another dentist is advised. If you feel crown is loose, it's probably loose, important issue is to find out what causes looseness of a crown. Early intervention may help rescue a tooth.
