We understand that having a dental crown come off your tooth for any reason can be upsetting. It’s crucial to handle the situation promptly to avoid further damage to the tooth.
First, find and save the crown. Rinse it gently with water and keep it in a safe place. Avoid using the affected tooth to chew, and contact Dr. Michael J. Franquemont, DDS, in Centennial, CO, as soon as possible to schedule an emergency dental appointment.
Why a Dental Crown Might Fall Off
There are different reasons why a dental crown could come off. These include decay beneath the crown, insufficient cement, or the natural deterioration of the dental adhesive. In some cases, the crown's fit may be compromised, or changes to the underlying tooth structure could cause the crown to become loose.
What to Expect at Your Emergency Visit
Dr. Franquemont will examine the tooth and crown during your emergency visit to determine the cause. If the crown and tooth are both in good condition, we may be able to re-cement it.
However, if the tooth is decayed or the crown is damaged, getting a new one might be the best option to protect your dental health and ensure stability.
