Only if the crown is not well made, or if its poorly cemented or if there is secondary decay underneath the crown. Otherwise a water flosser is a perfectly good option, after regular brushing and flossing.
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.
