D'oh! Just had temporary crown fall out |
|
No pain - root canal was done weeks ago, scheduled next week to get a permanent. Is this a big deal? Anything I should make an emergency appointment for? (This is my 1st crown ever)

1. Having gone down the rc/crown road many times, I recommend you |
|
call your dentist when he opens today. Without the temp cap, you can break something real easy.

3. Thanks. I'm reading stuff off the internet right now |
|
that recommends using denture adhesive or toothpast(!) to readhere it in the meantime. Sounds so makeshift for the cost of this badboy. Could have cracked another with the force I unknowingly bit down on it (I was eating Monteray Jack at the time). Sheesh.

8. A couple of months ago I had a temporary crown. I went to Vegas |
|
and that friggin' thing kept coming off. I tried using toothpaste to hold it on but that didn't help much. I am lucky I didn't crush it as it fell off while I was eating pizza. It also fell off while I was playing blackjack!!

9. I had two temporary crowns come loose, go to the Dentist |
|
tomorrow and get the crown glued down again. It won't take long, do not leave that tooth unprotected.
I have 6 crowns, just finished getting them this year. My childhood fillings gave out, at the same time.

10. I've been down that road. |
|
For a temporary fix, use tooth paste or denture adhesive. Worked for me.

11. I'd definitely give your dentist a call, and let him/her decide how |
|
Serious this is. And you can make an appt. at the same time. When this happened to me, I called my dentist at home, in a panic, because I almost swallowed the damn thing! And it had this nasty pointy end on it! She told me this horrible story of when this happened to a child and she rushed her to the ER! Fortunately, she was okay, but this was pretty scary! You were lucky, but please call your dentist! :scared:
