It shouldn't. If it does loosen the crown, the cement is likely poor or there is decay under the crown.
No, it should not loosen the crown unless there’s a deficiency in the crown or the cement that used to fix the crown.
Usually , the cement is very strong for a a crown and water glosser should not loosen it but if the crown has underlying issue such as fit issue or decay going on, it can get loose easily with pressure of water pick or glosser.
