I seem to recall hearing that Coca-Cola actually dissolves teeth. Is that
a workable solution to removing the old tooth from the gold crown? Is
there a better one?

The coke doesn't work. I am in the same boat, and it barely touched the
tooth (if at all) before it went moldy.

Still looking for a good approach...
